Why it is renowned
Chili is known for its fresh habanero chili, 1.3% of the recipe, in a licorice of powdered raw licorice, salmiak and sea salt.1
The story
Chili is made in Bagsværd from fresh habanero chilies and powdered raw licorice; its taste comes from the Maillard reaction between milk protein and sugar in the pot.1 After cooking, the licorice is poured into moulds, sets overnight, and is cut by hand with a sturdy knife and packed.1
