Dutch licorice Centre
Holland is famous for it’s Dutch licorice made from genuine licorice root to the highest standards. The regional recipes and history go back hundreds of years to when the Dutch were intrepid explorers (remember they discovered Tasmania), and the various flavours of licorice could be used to sustain the crew and to use as currency of exchange in foreign ports. Licorice travelled well across the latitudes and seasons with no refrigeration. Today we can offer 24 types of Dutch Licorice and chocolate in stock with more to come as we build up our Dutch Department. Currently in stock we have Heksehyl (witches sticks), Salmiak Rondos, Salmiak Rocks, Griotten, Kleurendrop, Fortisal – triple salt, Black Cats, Dropharingen – herring, Boerdjidrop, Hopjes, Salty Diamonds – large and small,.

Dutch licorice goes from Salty to sweet with various flavours such as coffee and honey in betweeen.It is popular in Germany and the Nordic Countries as well.
Medicinal Properties of Licorice
You see, the Dutch not only enjoy drop as a candy, but also as a lozenge when they have a sore throat. They may be onto something; licorice is widely believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and has been used as a medicine since ancient times by many cultures. In fact, licorice root was even found in Tutankhamen’s tomb. The root was also used by the Roman Army to ward of hunger and thirst during long marches.
