Tyrkisk peber (Danish for "Turkish pepper", often referred to as Turkinpippuri in Finnish, Türkisch Pfeffer in German, Tyrkisk pepper in Norwegian and Turkisk peppar in Swedish) is a brand of salty liquorice candy flavoured with salmiac, popular in Northern Europe.
The brand was first launched in 1977 by the Danish company Perelly, but was acquired the Finnish company Fazer in 1996. Although other similar sweets are commercially available, the name Tyrkisk peber is a brand name to which Fazer has the exclusive rights.
