OUR STORY
Kandís grew as an idea in the kitchen of the restaurant where Helga and Wioletta worked together as sous chef and head chef. They wanted to introduce the Icelandic flora to the public in a new and exciting way with high-quality, hand-crafted candy. Thus, Kandís was born.
After a year of intense research on how to hand-craft hard candies and flavor them with Icelandic herbs, Kandís was ready to hit the market and has been met with great enthusiasm since for its unique and delicious taste.
