"We make the world love liquorice. Made with love in Johan Bülows factory, Denmark"
Born into a family of entrepreneurial spirits, Johan Bülow always knew, that he wanted to create something special. He threw his passion and attention into liquorice – a Scandinavian favourite that he felt was underappreciated and deserved to be taken seriously. He put in the hours and learned the craft the hard way, and by 2007 he was ready to cook, roll and cut his very first product.
On 07.07.07 the first Lakrids by Johan Bülow shop opened in Svaneke on the island of Bornholm. The idea was to cook the liquorice in the shop, making sure that you could smell it in a radius of 100 meters. It worked. Everything was sold out within two hours. The last customer even bought the sample bowl on the counter.
In 2009 together with production manager Tage, Johan developed the idea to coat the liquorice with chocolate. They were told that it couldn’t be done, but the popular product A soon saw the light of day.
Our vision is to spread the love for liquorice around the globe. Not only the sweet kind, not only the salty one, but the whole spectrum of flavours that can be achieved when using liquorice as a spice.
