Customer Reviews
Melissa Harper
“As a lifelong licorice fan, Gustaf’s Allsorts instantly brought back childhood memories of visiting my grandmother in the UK. The combination of textures and flavors—especially the raspberry coconut layers—strikes a perfect balance between sweet and herbal. The packaging kept everything fresh, and I genuinely appreciated the authenticity. I’ve tried other brands, but nothing compares to how nostalgic and satisfying these are.”
Daniel Ortega
“I picked up the Black Licorice Laces for my road trip, and I was blown away. The texture was just right—chewy but not tough—and the flavor had that deep, earthy licorice taste without being too bitter. I found myself absentmindedly eating half the pack before I realized it. These are dangerously addictive in the best way possible. A must-have for traditional black licorice fans.”
Renee Linwood
“Double Salted Dutch Licorice isn’t for the faint of heart—but that’s exactly why I love it. My Dutch grandfather used to keep a stash in his cupboard, and Gustaf’s version hits every note I remember. That salty punch hits right away, and the firm texture makes them perfect for slow savoring. I love that they’re not sugary sweet, just pure bold flavor. If you know, you know.”
