Choosing a liquorice mix might seem straightforward: you pick a bag or bucket with different flavours and head to the checkout. But the differences between soft liquorice, sweet liquorice, salty liquorice and fruit liquorice can be surprisingly big. If you only look at the packaging or the weight in grams, you might end up with a mix that doesn’t suit your guests, your sweet jar or your personal taste.
A big bag of sweets is handy for parties and treats, but you should also consider the amount per portion and how long it stays fresh after opening. An open bag can dry out or become sticky more quickly. So seal the pack properly and store your liquorice and sweets in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and heat.
Not every sweet mix offers the same variety. Some products consist mainly of soft sweet liquorice, while others combine fruit gums, sour sweets or salmiak. So check that the description matches what you’re looking for:
Liquorice and sweets often contain gelatine, wheat, milk or sulphites. A product that is free from the fourteen main EU allergens isn’t automatically vegetarian or vegan: gelatine may still be present. Always read the current ingredients list on the packaging. Product compositions can change.
Think beforehand about what you need the liquorice mix for. For an office sweet jar or when you have guests, a combination of soft liquorice, fruit liquorice and wine gums often works well. If you particularly love a strong liquorice taste, you’re better off choosing a mix with salmiak, ammonium chloride or a higher proportion of liquorice root extract.
Also pay attention to texture. Soft liquorice is pleasant when you want to eat several pieces straight away. A mix with both soft and firm pieces offers more variety, but may be less suitable if everyone expects the same consistency.
The available packs vary widely: from around 215 grams to a 550-gram bucket or a 1-kilogram multipack. For personal use, 225 to 305 grams is usually manageable. For a party, treat or to stock your cupboard, 400 grams and above is more practical.
Some packs mention portions of 25 grams. That helps you divide the contents, but the actual number of pieces per portion can differ. Use the nutritional values per 100 grams as a consistent basis for comparison.
The products listed have a Nutri-Score E according to the product information. That doesn’t say anything about the taste, but it does make clear that these are sweets with a relatively high sugar content. In the stated nutritional information, the sugar content is usually around 44 to 63 grams per 100 grams.

For Venco products, the product information states that excessive consumption should be avoided by people with high blood pressure. This is a manufacturer’s warning based on the product listing, not personal health advice. Enjoy sweets in moderation and follow the label.

Choose a mix with several textures and flavours, such as soft liquorice, fruit liquorice and wine gums. A pack of around 300 to 400 grams is suitable if you want to refill regularly without opening a very large supply straight away.
Keep the liquorice mix cool, dry and out of direct sunlight. Seal the bag or bucket well to prevent drying out and moisture absorption. Always check the best-before date and the storage advice on the packaging.
No. Many liquorice and sweet mixes contain gelatine. Also check for sulphites, wheat, milk and other allergens. The product information for Venco Mixed Liquorice Assortment, for example, lists gelatine and sulphites, while other products have a different allergen declaration. Check the current label before buying.
