What is licorice?

Trekdrop is a classic Dutch licorice candy loved for its unique texture and intense flavor. The name comes from the way you can 'pull' the candy: it is soft and stretchy, yet sturdy enough not to break immediately. Trekdrop is often black in color and has a delicious salmiak or licorice flavor, sometimes with a hint of menthol. For many Dutch people, trekdrop candy childhood memories: from bags of candy at the campsite to the licorice your grandpa always had in his coat pocket.

Is licorice still available? At Candy Festival, it is!

While you're finding licorice less and less available in brick-and-mortar stores, the good news is that you can still find this delicious classic at Candyfestival.

Alternatives to licorice

Is chewy licorice just a little too intense for you, but do you love licorice with character? Then there is plenty of traditional Dutch candy to be found in the Candyfestival webshop. Think of soft licorice, milder honey flavors, or licorice with a fresh twist such as mint or eucalyptus. At Candyfestival, we also have varieties that are similar in texture to chewy licorice but offer a completely different taste experience. For example, our drop lanyards. This way, you can keep varying without giving up your love for licorice.

Thumb licorice vs. pull licorice

Do you remember it, thumb drop? Trekdrop and thumb drop are often confused. But thumb drop is generally a lot firmer than trekdrop. It also has a strong flavor and is much less elastic. You can easily pull trekdrop apart, but that really doesn't work with thumb drop! Looking for the delicious Dutch candy thumb drop? We sell that on the Candyfestival webshop too.
