Review: Dubbelzoute - a super salty & delicious treat! - I admit I was on the fence about ordering these. I was reading a book in which one of the characters loved double salted Dutch licorice and I was intrigued. I have never cared for the licorice I've tasted but I had only ever had the common American variety, not the double salted Dutch variety. My husband loves licorice so I decided to buy some of this type and hoped that if I didn't care for it, he would eat it. To my delighted surprise, we both love it. It is VERY salty, so be prepared. It has a very bold flavor and does not taste like the common American licorice you may be familiar with. American licorice usually relies on anise oil to mimic the flavor of real licorice, so it is milder, sweeter, and traditionally unsalted. Dutch licorice (like this product) uses actual licorice root extract which is why it is less sweet and has a strong licorice flavor. The strong salty flavor comes from the traditional use of ammonium chloride (known as salmiak salt and, in case you are wondering, there are salted varieties that are not "double" salted for those who can't take the extreme salty flavor). These coin or button-shaped candies are soft and chewy (they do stick to your teeth a bit so if that bothers you or if you have dental work that precludes caramels and such, you might search for something else) and are so unique (in my experience, anyway). This is not a candy you eat by the handful. This is a "take one, nibble it , and savor" kind of candy. Highly recommended for those with an adventurous palate (and normal to low blood pressure). Bottom line: this is a salty treat, not a sugary sweet candy. Arrived promptly, soft, fresh & delicious. Review: Packs a salty punch, yet sodium-free - So, just to throw this out there, this product has ammonium chloride, not sodium chloride (table salt), to give it the salty taste. It tastes like salt, but your sodium levels are not in danger. That being said, it definitely is an experience to eat. This is a SAVORY candy, not a sweet candy. If you've never had a savory licorice candy before, I recommend starting out with the single salt first, and see how you like that, if at all. If you think amping up the bitterness and astringency is something you may find enjoyable, go for the double salt. If you're a parent and want to pull a prank on your child by giving them a piece with the (technical) truth that it is candy, you will just make them sad, even if you think it's hilarious. Yes, my father did this. Yes, it's very funny in retrospect. But I also remember this moment as one of the few times he actually gifted me candy, by hand, before the age of 10. So if you're planning on using this product to prank on your own child, be sure to follow that prank immediately with a gift of your child's favorite candy or sugary beverage. Not only will your child grow up with a healthy sense of humor, but their memory of you as a parent in their childhood will be slightly rosier, and thus they will be more willing to fund your retirement home when your savings finally dries up. Let this candy sit on your tongue. On occasion, dare to apply light pressure on the tablet, by sandwiching it between your molars lightly, but do not crush. Do NOT bite through and cut the tablet into smaller pieces in your mouth, because your saliva will overflow to combat the rush of ammonium chloride. After consuming three of these (in succession, not all at once), the rinsing of all that saliva will make your breath clean and sweet to the point that you'll feel anise all the way up in your sinuses. I love that there is a three-pack of this. I can keep one bag for myself. Another I'll donate to my team's collective candy table at work (and I will give them ample warning). The last bag I'm adding to the birthday care package that I will send to my father soon. ## Features - Authentic Dutch Black Licorice – Experience the rich tradition of Dutch black licorice with these salted coins, crafted in the Netherlands for the ultimate black licorice candy indulgence. - Seriously Salty – Perfect for fans of salty black licorice, these coins pack a punch with their distinct double salt formula, a true treat for real black licorice enthusiasts. - A Unique Dutch Snack Experience – Savor the classic taste of Gustafs licorice, a favorite among Dutch snacks lovers, offering a satisfying chew and a bold flavor profile. - Historic Recipe – These licorice candy black coins feature a carefully balanced salted flavor, ideal for anyone who appreciates the distinctive taste of salted licorice. - Perfect Gift for Licorice Fans – Delight the licorice black lover in your life with this pack of double salt licorice coins, a classic treat that combines tradition with bold flavor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00V0PVSDM | | Age Range Description | 6+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #20,227 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #76 in Licorice Candy | | Brand | Gustaf's | | Brand Name | Gustaf's | | Candy Consistency | Chewy | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 1,125 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Licorice | | Is the Item Heat Sensitive? | No | | Item Form | Bag | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.16 Kilograms | | Item Shape | Round | | Manufacturer | Gustaf's | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Package Type Name | Bag | | Size | 5.2 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Double Salt Licorice | | Sugar Candy Type | licorice | | Unit Count | 5.2 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gustaf's - **Flavor:** Licorice - **Item Form:** Bag - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 5.2 Ounce ## Images ![Dutch Licorice Coins Double Salt - 5.2 oz. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XBJPBAIoL.jpg) ![Dutch Licorice Coins Double Salt - 5.2 oz. - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Aj+3BgMUL.jpg) ![Dutch Licorice Coins Double Salt - 5.2 oz. - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-DbW5Q9LL.jpg) ![Dutch Licorice Coins Double Salt - 5.2 oz. - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-Ff-a4CzL.jpg) ![Dutch Licorice Coins Double Salt - 5.2 oz. - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816pjlI1i8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Item Package Quantity** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dubbelzoute - a super salty & delicious treat! *by T***C on August 19, 2025* I admit I was on the fence about ordering these.
