Venco: the story of a Dutch liquorice brand

Venco’s history starts in 1878, when Gerrit van Voornveld made liquorice and peppermint in a steam factory in Amsterdam. The roots of this Dutch brand reach back to a very different era from today’s familiar sweet packets.

A name with a past

Venco refers to Voornveld en Co. The company grew and its production moved over time. Following the merger with Cloetta in 2012, Venco became part of that confectionery group.

Liquorice to suit your taste

Small differences matter when choosing liquorice. Do you prefer sweet or salty, soft or firm? Your preference often determines your favourite. A familiar shape can also bring back memories of a sweet shop or a childhood treat.
