Klene Steekpenningen liquorice

Klene is a historic Dutch confectionery brand specifically famous for its wide variety of liquorice (drop). Founded in 1876 by Johannes Coenraad Klene in Zaandam, the brand built a legacy of authentic Dutch confectionery. Today, the products are primarily manufactured in the Netherlands, maintaining the traditional recipes that have made them a household name in the Dutch market for over a century. Since 1999, Klene has been part of the Perfetti Van Melle group, a global giant in the confectionery industry, which formed following the merger of the Italian company Perfetti and the Dutch company Van Melle. The brand continues to be a market leader in the Netherlands, known for its iconic coin-shaped 'Steekpenningen' liquorice.
