Klene Suikervrij Honingbijtjes

Klene is a quintessential Dutch liquorice brand with a history dating back to 1876 when Johannes Coenraad Klene founded the company in Amsterdam. Known as 'Neerlands enige échte' (The Netherlands' only real one), Klene has become a household name for traditional and innovative liquorice products. The Honingbijtjes (Honey Bees) shown here are a popular sugar-free variety sweetened with stevia, catering to health-conscious consumers while maintaining the classic honey-infused liquorice flavor.

Today, Klene is part of the Perfetti Van Melle group, a global leader in the confectionery industry. While the brand maintains its strong Dutch identity and heritage, its production and distribution are managed through the corporate infrastructure of its Italian-Dutch parent company. The products are primarily manufactured in the Netherlands to ensure the authentic taste profile expected by its domestic and international customer base.
