Venco DropToppers Salmiak & Mint

Venco is a quintessential Dutch liquorice brand with a legacy dating back to 1878. The name originates from its founder, Gerrit van Voornveld, combined with the company suffix. For over a century, it has been a staple in the Netherlands, known for producing a vast variety of 'drop' (liquorice), ranging from sweet to salty varieties.

The DropToppers line represents a modern twist on traditional liquorice, blending classic salmiak (salty liquorice) with refreshing mint flavors. Manufacturing is primarily concentrated in the Netherlands, specifically in factories equipped to handle the unique starch and sugar molding processes required for Dutch liquorice.

Today, Venco is owned by Cloetta, a leading European confectionery company. Cloetta acquired the brand through its merger with Leaf International, which had previously consolidated several historic Dutch candy brands. The brand remains managed as a key part of Cloetta's portfolio in the Northern European market.
