Klene Muntdrop Sugar-Free liquorice

Klene is a historic Dutch brand established in 1876 by Johannes Klene. The brand is deeply rooted in Dutch confectionery culture, specifically known for its "Muntdrop" (coin-shaped liquorice) which originated from the traditional use of liquorice as a form of currency-themed treat. Over the decades, Klene has evolved from a small family-run business in Amsterdam to a leading brand in the Dutch liquorice market.

Today, Klene is part of the Perfetti Van Melle group, which is one of the world's largest confectionery manufacturers. While the brand maintains its authentic Dutch identity and produces its liquorice primarily in the Netherlands (often at facilities in Hoorn and Breda), it is managed under a global corporate umbrella. The sugar-free range, as seen in the image, represents the brand's adaptation to modern health trends while preserving traditional liquorice flavors and shapes.
