A Nordic candy shop called Sodt (website, facebook, instagram) opened for business on Saturday. It’s located at 119 Cumberland Ave in the space formerly occupied by Sticky Sweet. They’re open Wednesday through Sunday, noon – 8 pm (and until 9 pm on Fridays and Saturdays).
Sisters Nikoline and Signe Ostergaard have been bringing candy back to Maine from trips to Denmark to share with friends. Sodt, which means sweet in Danish, is an effort to share the sweets they love with the people of Portland. The sisters are being joined in the business by their mother Liz Ostergaard.
The Ostergaards are selling treats from Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, and England. Customers are able to put together a mixed bag from the wide range of sweet and sour candies, chocolate, caramels and black licorice available. Sodt also offers some house packaged mixed bags of candy plus jars of licorice and chocolate bars. Gluten-free and vegan options are available.
