Van Slooten Oldtimers Scheepsknopen Drop Zoet (Sweet)

Keep in my mouth till it softens up and then chew. Reminds me of licorice I used to buy in Chicago when I was a kid of 6 years old. Got a small paper bag full for a nickel. This isn’t a nickel anymore and it’s a slightly different shape but it’s close and it makes me feel like I’m 6 again.

I bought these for my husband. He LOVES them. I think they taste like shoe leather...not that I would really know, but I don't like them. It takes all kinds... He has been known to really stock up on these if we find them in a store, but that doesn't happen often. I think you really have to like licorice to like this stuff.

Very tasty, will buy again. In fact have another order in right now.

Solid but flexible, dissolves slowly in you mouth. The thickness is perfect. This is nowhere near the Australian type of licorice. It's in a class of it's own. Almost addicting

The licorice was perfect, But, why individualy package and mail each package. Separately! What a waste! In the past, they all came in 1 Box.

I have ordered this product several times previously ... always gets shipped together and in a BOX to protect the item (its a PERISHABLE!) As evidenced by the photo(s), the box was crushed, clearly not what I have received in the past. Next time, perhaps its worth it to WAIT for the complete order to be filled, rather than to ship it in this manner. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

The product is listed as "sweet" but the product I received was the "lightly salted" version. The licorice was enjoyed by my Dutch girlfriend, but it was not the sweet licorice she was looking forward to.

This is probably one of the best licorices that I have tasted. A far superior product from Holland. Real licorice taste instead of molasses or anise flavored. The major United States brands other than Newman's taste artificial.
