Grenna Peppermint, Original is a handmade sugar stick from Grenna Polkagriskokeri, the candy maker in Gränna, Sweden that still bakes its sticks by hand in the town where the recipe began. Twisted into the classic red and white stripe, it has a firm, glassy snap that gives way to a clean, bracing peppermint bite.
The recipe traces back to 1859, when Amalia Eriksson first started making polkagrisar in Gränna to support herself and her daughter. This Original version follows that same traditional method, with nothing added to update the flavor or the process.
It is the kind of candy meant to be tucked in a coat pocket or set out in a dish, a small, old-fashioned treat that has stayed essentially the same for well over a century.
