Turkish pepper
Turkish pepper , also known as Tyrkisk Peber , is the name of a sweet whose main ingredient is licorice . Turkish pepper usually contains an increased proportion of ammonium chloride (3%) and licorice powder (3%), and may therefore only be sold with the warning "Adult licorice - not children's licorice".
Turkish pepper was originally produced under the Danish name Tyrkisk Peber by the Denmark- based company Perelly , which has since been taken over by the Finnish company Fazer . Today, Tyrkisk Peber is manufactured by Fazer in Finland and distributed throughout Scandinavia and partly in the Netherlands and Northern Germany . There are also some imitation products , most of which are still produced in Denmark today, such as Danish Pepper , which is also available in Northern Germany . Another imitation product is Turkish pepper from the German company Trimex, whose name is a literal translation of Tyrkisk Peber into German. Turkish pepper is also produced in Denmark and imported by Trimex especially for the German market.
In northern Germany, Turkish pepper is the most widespread variant of this sweet and is sometimes mistaken for the original, i.e. identical to Tyrkisk Peber. In contrast to imitation products, the latter is relatively rarely available in Germany. Within Germany, however, by far the most important market for Turkish pepper is in Northern Germany and there especially in Schleswig-Holstein . In other parts of the country, all varieties of Turkish pepper are relatively rarely available in regular grocery stores.
