For over 50 years, Katja Fassin has been crafting some of the finest Dutch licorice, and this Firm Sweet Kitten Licorice (Katjes - Stevig Zoete Drop) is no exception. Made with 100% natural flavours and colours, this classic Dutch treat delivers an authentic licorice experience with a firm yet chewy texture and a deeply satisfying sweet taste. Packed in a 500g bag, these kitten-shaped licorice pieces are perfect for true licorice lovers who appreciate premium, gelatin-free candy.
What sets Katja licorice apart is its commitment to natural ingredients and dietary inclusivity. Since 2016, the brand has completely removed gelatin from its licorice and sweets, making them suitable for vegetarians and those avoiding animal-based ingredients. Plus, most Katja licorice varieties, including this one, are gluten-free and lactose-free, ensuring more people can enjoy this timeless confection. The licorice is carefully crafted using modified starch, molasses, sal ammoniac salt, and real licorice extract, giving it a bold, sweet flavour with a well-balanced intensity.
Katja was one of the first candy brands to achieve 100% natural colouring in all its confectionery, setting a high standard for quality and purity. This dedication to using only natural flavours and preservatives ensures that every bite is as authentic as possible, just like the licorice enjoyed in the Netherlands for generations. The product’s firm chew and rich sweetness make it a favourite among licorice connoisseurs, whether enjoyed as a personal treat or shared with friends and family.
Packaged in a convenient 500g bag, this licorice is great for snacking, gifting, or adding to a specialty confectionery selection. Retailers and specialty stores stocking Dutch licorice will find Katja Katjes a must-have for customers seeking a premium, naturally made licorice without gelatin or artificial additives. With its bold yet smooth licorice taste, it pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea for a traditional European indulgence.
