Klene Mix liquorice candies

Klene is a historical Dutch brand specializing in liquorice (drop) and confectionery. Founded in 1876 in Rotterdam by Johannes Conradus Klene, it became one of the most iconic names in the Dutch confectionery market, famous for products like the 'Muntdrop' (coin liquorice).

The manufacturing primarily takes place in the Netherlands, specifically in factories specialized in glucose-based sweets and liquorice production.

Today, the brand is owned by the global confectionery giant Perfetti Van Melle. This ownership follows the acquisition of the RBV Leaf company (which previously held Klene) by the Italian-Dutch group. Perfetti Van Melle maintains the brand's heritage while distributing its wide range of sweet and salty liquorice products globally.
