Sisu is a Finnish brand of candy, currently produced by Leaf International.
Sisu was introduced to the market in 1928 by the Turku candy company Tehdas-Osakeyhtiö Seres (later Oy Seres Ab). Development of the candy was begun one year earlier by the Seres chemist Johan Ponkamo, with the intention of developing a candy to match the Swedish Läkerol. For assistance, he used a recipe for wine gum tablets containing gum arabic he had found from a German book. Combining gum arabic and liquorice to form a candy with satisfactory composition proved difficult and time-consuming work. The special Sisu aroma was only born after countless attempts and experiments. Its composition is and remains a closely guarded secret.
Sisu was an instant success. This was because of a good choice of name and an aroma to match the Finnish taste. Directly after its introduction to the market, Sisu won a gold medal at the international food products fair in Liège, Belgium. A picture of the medal won by Sisu was placed on the front side of the candy box, and has been there ever since.
