Wikipedia Article About Turkish pepper on Wikipedia Turkish Pepper or Tyrkisk Peber (Turkinpippuri) is a strong liquorice candy flavored with ammonium chloride (salmiakki), made by the Finnish company Fazer and popular in the country. The basic variant is a large, hollow round shell both coated and filled with salmiakki powder. A number of others exist, most of which vary in type and strength of flavor but keep the shape. It no doubt adds to their popularity that Turkish Pepper is sometimes used to make the cocktail salmiakkikoskenkorva.
