Pionir Hard Filled Candy Negro Loose 250g / Odzacar Grla Negro

Negro is one of the most famous brands that has survived for decades and is a trademark of Pionir. The traditional recipe has been preserved and is still successfully applied today. The secret of Negra lies in the specific taste that the extract of the Liquorice plant gives it, while the freshness is provided by mint.

Negro is a candy originating from Subotica, now Serbia where it was invented by József Ruff living and working in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This brand of candies has been produced by Pionir (the successor of Ruff’s confectionery production) since the 1920s in Serbia. The product’s slogan is “the chimney sweep of the throat”. On its wrapper a chimney sweep is depicted while sweeping a chimney. It gets its originally black colour from active carbon and anise which is similar in taste to licorice, and taste from menthol added.

The name Negro has sometimes mistakenly been seen as racist. The name refers to a similar candy (black licorice) inventor, Italian confectioner Pietro Negro, and the word “black” (as the most popular version of the candy is black) is not connected to people of African descent.The lower left seal claims “THE ONE AND ONLY GENUINE.”

Ingredients: sugar, glucose syrup, licorice filling (dextrose, sugar, glucose syrup, milk powder, licorice extract 0.4%), natural flavors.
