Omar bag

Omar is a caramel candy manufactured by Fazer Confectionery of Finland. Ingredients used in the manufacture of the confectionery are milk, sugar, glucose syrup, hydrogenated vegetable oil, milk fat, stabilizer (E420), salt and vanillin aroma. Omar is sold in 220 gram bags.^[1]

Omar was originally Chymos confectionery product company, which began to be produced in 1966. The Omar name probably chose the artist-writer Aimo Vuorinen, who served as Chymos packaging designer. The market has also been a Strawberry-Omar, Coffee-Omar and Omar hard-candy. Today, there is only a traditional Omar, which is part of Fazer's Classic series. Omar-tasting ice cream is also prepared.
