Negro Candy 100g

$4

Negro candy is a popular confection that originated in Subotica, Serbia, and is known for its distinctive black color, which comes from active carbon. It is typically flavored with licorice, anise (which has a similar taste to licorice), and menthol, giving it a refreshing, slightly spicy taste. The candy has been produced since the early 20th century, originally by József Ruff and later by the Pionir company in Serbia. It is often described with the slogan "the chimney sweeper of the throat," and its packaging features a chimney sweep character.
