Aroma — A Swedish Candy Legacy Since 1921
Few things taste as nostalgic as a classic Swedish jelly candy. Soft, sweet and dusted with sugar, they instantly transport us back to childhood pick-and-mix bags and corner candy shops. One of the true guardians of that tradition is the brand Aroma. One of Sweden’s oldest confectionery companies, founded in 1921 in Stockholm. For over a century, Aroma has quietly remained a steady presence in Swedish candy culture, crafting beloved sweets that generations have grown up with. From a small kitchen in Stockholm to nationwide shelves, their story is as heartfelt as their most famous candy. A Sweet Beginning in Stockholm The story begins in Stockholm in 1921. Two entrepreneurs, Gottfrid Eklund and Max Forslund, started making candy by hand in a small kitchen. At a time when confectionery production was far from industrialized, candy-making required patience, craftsmanship and care. What began as small-scale production soon grew into something much bigger. Sweden in the early 20th century w

A sporty classic - Kex Choklad, Sweden’s Kit Kat
A Taste of Swedish Crunch!If you love classic Swedish candy, you’ve definitely tried, or at least seen, Kex Choklad. This crispy chocolate wafer is Sweden’s answer to Kit Kat, but with a very Swedish twist. Created by Cloetta, Kex Choklad has been delighting candy lovers for generations and is a true staple in every Swedish candy aisle. A Bite of History – with skis on Launched in the 1950s, Kex Choklad quickly became a favorite thanks to its simple, perfect combo of crunchy wafers and smooth milk chocolate. But what really set it apart was its strong connection to sports, especially winter sports. Back in the day, Cloetta famously sponsored Swedish skiing, and the now-legendary Kex Choklad ski suit, covered in that unmistakable chocolate-bar pattern, became an icon in slopes and ski tracks across Sweden. The message was clear: Kex Choklad = energy, joy, and outdoor fun. That association with skiing, breaks in the snow, and active winters still sticks today. From left: The Swedish Alpi

A Cup of Swedish Warmth —The Story of Glögg
Snow outside, candles flickering, and a cup of something warm in your hands — that’s the unmistakable feeling of Swedish winter. And if there’s one drink that defines the season, it’s glögg — a mulled wine spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel that fills homes with comfort and joy. At Dulce Deli, we think of glögg as more than a beverage. It’s a hug in a cup, a tradition that brings people together, and one of the sweetest symbols of Scandinavian Christmas. A Toast to the Past The word glögg comes from the Swedish verb glödga, meaning to heat or mull. Its roots go all the way back to the 16th century, when Swedes began heating wine with sugar and spices to stay warm during long winters. By the 1800s, glögg had become a popular Christmas tradition, especially among the upper class. Recipes varied — some used red wine, others added brandy or aquavit — but the essence was always the same: sweet, spiced, and shared. Today, glögg remains one of the most iconic tastes of Swedish holi
