Oldtimers Scheepsknopen

Bring the unmistakable comfort of Dutch licorice home, wherever in the world you live. Oldtimers Scheepsknopen deliver a classic sweet licorice taste in distinctive ship’s-knot shapes, with a 235 g content that is made for quiet indulgence, sharing, and satisfying that very specific Dutch craving.

For Dutch and Flemish expats, some flavours are more than snacks. They are memory. These licorice knots offer the familiar depth of licorice root extract, softened by sugar and high fructose corn syrup for a rounded sweetness that feels generous without losing its traditional character. It is the kind of candy you reach for when ordinary sweets do not quite answer the longing for home.

A satisfying bite, shaped by tradition. The ship’s-knot form gives each piece a distinctive look and a pleasing chew, while gum arabic, starch, and modified starch help create the firm yet yielding texture licorice lovers appreciate. Salmiak salt adds a subtle Dutch edge, giving the sweetness more depth and making every piece feel unmistakably different from standard candy.

• Classic sweet licorice flavour: licorice root extract, caramel colouring, and natural aroma create a deep, familiar taste that suits devoted Dutch licorice fans.
• Distinctive ship’s-knot shape: each piece feels recognisable, nostalgic, and satisfying to enjoy slowly.
