Gustaf's Double Salt Licorice

Gustaf’s Double Salt Licorice is the most infamous—and beloved—style of licorice, a true Dutch classic enjoyed since the late 1800s. If you’re a black licorice lover, this is the bold, authentic taste you’ve been waiting for.

Shaped into firm, coin-like rounds, each piece delivers a powerful punch of rich black licorice with double the salty intensity. Made in true Dutch tradition with ammonium chloride, this licorice is unapologetically strong and deeply satisfying for those who crave that unmistakable salty-sweet balance.

Stamped with “DZ” (short for Dubbel Zout, meaning double salt), these licorice drops are considered a culinary treasure in the Netherlands—so much so that fans across Northern and Western Europe lovingly call it “black gold.”

Sweet fact: The Netherlands has the highest licorice consumption in the world, with each person eating over 4 pounds (2,000g) per year! And they’re not alone—Finland, Scandinavia, Germany, and beyond share in the love of this bold treat.

Made proudly in The Netherlands, Gustaf’s Double Salt Licorice is more than candy—it’s a cultural icon.
