In fact, some Dutch people still contend that salty Zoute Drop can help clear nasal passages and soothe a sore throat or cough. By the s, salty licorice had become a staple all over Scandinavia and the Netherlands, according to the BBC.
In the 15th century, the Dutch took control of the nutmeg and clove trade in Indonesia, introducing the Netherlands to the bitter, spicy flavors prominent in salty licorice. Brined and pickled dishes are also staples of the regional cuisine: The Dutch adore brined herring and pickled vegetables, and in Sweden and Norway, cured fish, known as gravlax , is a delicacy.
Salty licorice fits right in with the saltwater-washed appetites of people from this part of the world. I recently ordered some Zoute Drop for my dad and I — a mild variety made by Venco , stamped with the coin design.
I mailed two bags to my dad in Seattle, and kept two for myself. Cautiously, I ripped one of the bags open and popped a couple of coins into my mouth. But then something strange happened: I began to crave it. The more Zoute Drop I snack on, the more I understand its appeal.
Yet I found it appealing for another reason. The moment the Zoute Drop coin hit my tongue, memories of my dad and I sitting his Ford Explorer on the waterfront, eating candy, came flooding back to me.
I remember being giddy with excitement when we entered the candy store after our walks in the park, and the neon candied oranges in my plastic bag. I felt fascination and pride when I discovered his candy preferences made our family special, and that memory comes back with renewed force every time I eat Zoute Drop.

Noah May 19, We use a traditional method of slowly cooking them together to make a dough. After cooking, we finally press the licorice candy dough into shape. The traditional method of making it give it the distinctive chewy softness.
It really is simple like that. Panda International Simple ingredients. Our licorice has been famous for its flavor since History you can taste today.
