Template:Short description

Original Template:Lang

Template:Expand Swedish

Template:Lang (Danish for "Turkish pepper", often referred to as Template:Lang in Finnish, Template:Lang in German, Template:Lang in Norwegian and Template:Lang in Swedish) is a salty liquorice candy flavoured with salmiac (ammonium chloride), produced by the Finnish company Fazer and popular in Northern Europe. It was first launched in 1977 by the Danish company Perelly, but was acquired by Fazer in 1996.

Template:Lang comes in varying flavours

The basic variant is a large, hollow, round shell both coated and filled with ammonium chloride powder. It is sold in dark blue, flame-decorated bags. The Template:Lang product family has later expanded to include the "Hot & Sour" (a milder variant of the traditional design, produced in four different flavours; Spicy Citrus, Pepper Liquorice, Chilli Melon and Strawberry Surprise) and "Bonfire" (soft, much milder candies) bagged variants, as well as lollipops and filled liquorice. There has also been a chili-flavoured version and a strongly licorice-flavoured version with less of the ammonium chloride and peppercorn flavouring, but these have since been discontinued. However, the licorice-flavoured variant can still be found as one of the flavours in the "Hot & Sour" bags. In Northern Europe there are competing different versions of salmiac-based candy, including Template:Lang (frog shaped candies), Template:Lang and Template:Lang.

Template:Lang, alongside products like Super Salmiakki and Pantteri, is rated as spicy as hot sauce and measured with a flaming-star rating system.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> In February 2024 it was reported one of the products had a Scoville scale of 900,000.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Template:Lang is used to make the Finnish candy shot Salmiakki Koskenkorva and in similar Scandinavian drinks. When Perelly manufactured Template:Lang, it was also available as powder which was often used to make a drink known in Denmark as Template:Lang, Template:Lang, hot shot or Template:Lang, in Sweden as Template:Lang, and in Norway as Template:Lang, Template:Lang or Template:Lang.

Template:Lang is hygroscopic, and if left in an unsealed bag it will absorb water from the air and stick together after a few days.
