Our factory in Holland was established in 1876 and produces an endless number of shapes with its own characteristics (soft, hard, chewy) and flavoring (from sweet to salt). It takes a somewhat acquired taste to appreciate this flavorful, lightly salty licorice with lots of character. If in doubt, first try the "soft drops" or the "sweet and firm cats". (Holland)

Niederegger — Marzipan, a fine mix of almonds and a bit of sugar, has been an oriental delicacy for more than 1,000 years. Served at the tables of ancient caliphs and noblemen, marzipan was introduced to Europe during the Crusades and traded over the following centuries in Venice, Spain, Portugal and the Hansa League city of Luebeck. Niederegger marzipan, a treat for any German confectionary connoisseur since 1806, hails from the city of Luebeck. The secret of the traditional Niederegger recipe for marzipan has to do with the exact ratio of ground up almonds to sugar and with an ingredient that is similar to rosewater. Niederegger marzipan is of the finest quality standard, made from 100% almond paste. Most other widely distributed manufacturers offset the costs of high quality and healthy almonds by using a greater amount of sugar or even almond extract. (Schleswig Holstein)
