All the liquorice that Bagsværd Lakrids produces for Denmark and the rest of the world is made at Bagsværd Hovedgade 119-125. Here, the liquorice is produced in our mini factory, where you will also find the shop and packing area. You can walk straight in from the street and experience the liquorice being made.

Bagsværd Lakrids was created by happy, enterprising souls, and the story began at Christmas 2014. Here, chemical engineer Søren Beier experimented with liquorice at home together with his family. His son Niels helped measure out salt in the pot, his daughter Nina wrapped the liquorice, and the children’s mother, Pernille, came up with the idea of putting the liquorice in envelopes so it could easily be sent to friends and family by post.

Demand grew quickly, and in January 2015 Bagsværd Lakrids was founded. Søren Beier started the company together with his fellow student Morten Kornbech Larsen, who is also a chemical engineer from the Technical University of Denmark. In the years that followed, the two developed a wide range of varieties, including chilli liquorice, ginger liquorice, salmiak liquorice, sweet liquorice, mint liquorice and symphony liquorice.

In 2018, Bagsværd Lakrids took part for the first time in the unofficial Danish liquorice championships, The Liquorice Taste Award, winning a silver medal. In 2019, a bronze medal followed, and in 2020 Bagsværd Lakrids received the gold medal in Tivoli from a unanimous panel of judges.
