Buying Dutch liquorice and sweets online may seem straightforward, but product photos do not always tell the whole story. A bag may look large, while the actual contents are limited. Terms such as “soft”, “natural” or “vegan” also need to be checked against the ingredients list.
With this practical guide, you can assess flavour, texture, allergens and contents. That makes it easier to find a product that suits your family, gift hamper or store cupboard.
Soft liquorice can be smooth and chewy, but it can also dry out quickly if the packaging is not properly sealed after opening. The composition also affects winegums. Gelatine, starch and plant proteins can noticeably change the texture.
So check both the product description and the storage advice. Resealable packaging, or sealing the bag properly after use, helps preserve the texture for longer.
These terms are not interchangeable:
For example, Venco Soft Liquorice Mix contains gelatine and is not suitable for vegans. According to the product description, Autodrop Vegan Cadillacs contain no gelatine and are listed as vegan and gluten-free.
Compare the net contents, not just the size of the packaging. A 280-gram bag may look appealing, but a smaller pack can be more convenient for trying a product or putting together a gift. Also check the number of portions. With Autodrop Vegan Cadillacs, for example, a 25-gram portion is equivalent to around five sweets, with approximately eleven portions per bag.
Dutch sweet brands vary considerably in flavour. Check whether you are looking for:
According to the product information, Venco Jubes combine soft, sweet and salty liquorice. Red Band Dropfruit Duos combine liquorice and winegum in a single sweet. For fruit lovers, soft winegums with strawberry, blackcurrant or cherry flavour are a natural choice.
Look for terms such as soft bite, hard sugar confectionery, soft winegum or hard outer layer with a soft centre. Autodrop Vegan Cadillacs are soft gummies with three fruit flavours. Venco Mint Drop, on the other hand, is hard sugar confectionery with mint and herbal flavouring. Venco Tikkels have a hard exterior and soft centre, but according to the product details, contain gluten.
A sugar or sour coating can add extra flavour, but it can also affect the total amount of sugar. So check the nutritional values per 100 grams.
Pay particular attention to:
A product without the 14 major EU allergens is not automatically suitable for every individual allergy. If in doubt, always read the full label. Store sweets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not casually open a damaged pack.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Not every product containing the word “drop” is a sweet. An online range may also include vitamin D drops for children, hyaluronic acid eye drops and a Korean facial serum. So always check the product category and instructions for use.
Dosage and recommended age vary between vitamin D drops. A supplement is not a replacement for a varied diet; do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Eye drops are a medical device and must be used according to the package leaflet. A serum is intended for external use only. These products therefore do not automatically belong in a sweets order.
You can search online within the liquorice category and filter by brand, contents, flavour, texture and ingredients. Popular choices include Autodrop, Venco, Red Band and Harlekijntjes. Before checking out, review the product information, delivery terms and best-before date on the packaging.
The exact shelf life is stated on the packaging. Unopened sweets should generally be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat. Seal the bag properly after opening to limit drying out and moisture absorption. Do not use a product from damaged packaging.
It varies from product to product. Autodrop Vegan Cadillacs and Venco Jubes are listed as vegan and gluten-free in the product information. Venco Soft Liquorice Mix contains gelatine and is not vegan. Check the current ingredients list and allergen information with every order, as recipes and packaging may change.
