Acquired taste,

This review is from: Gustaf's Dutch Licorice, Double Salt, 7-Ounce Containers (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
When I lived on the border of England and Wales, I had a roommate from Copenhagen Denmark, and he got some of this in his Christmas goodie basket from his Mom. At first it is a shock to the system, and I was the only American in the house that didn't spit it out. Soon I was bugging him to get his Mom to send more. It is a testament to the impression that it made that 25 years later I checked Amazon to see if I could get it here.Before I got home my wife and kids had gotten into the box and tried it. They didn't try a second piece. I however after the initial shock of the first piece, remembered why I liked it. And although this case will probably last me a long time, I do rather enjoy the flavor. But be warned the flavor is HEAVY on the salt and very light on the sweet. But it is a treat that you can enjoy without emptying the whole container in a sitting and wonder where it went. So... if you are adventurous, or if you remember the taste from your European adventures, try this exotic treat.

Genuine Article,
This review is from: Gustaf's Dutch Licorice, Double Salt, 7-Ounce Containers (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
I love licorice and thought I would try this stuff out. I wondered how a double-salt licorice could have 0 mg of sodium. Well, the answer is, the saltiness is the ammonium chloride. There is no sodium chloride (table salt) in this licorice. I'm not sure that ammonium chloride is any better for you than plain old salt, but since it is 'sodium free' it appears on the surface to be a healthy choice. Bottom line: This stuff is salty. A very close friend of mine is Dutch. He's not the typical, "I'm Dutch because my grandparents came from Holland." He is the real deal. He is not even remotely interested in visits to Amsterdam, like most people are. I told him I had some Dubbel Zout (Dutch for double-salt) and he was over to see me instantly. He loved it. Where most people immediately spat it out or nearly choked on it, he was crazy about it. I think that says a lot about its authenticity. Now, as to the saltiness, if that's not your thing, I suggest not buying six tubs at first (though the price is great), but rather pick up a single tub from an import market. If you have tried the double-salt and think that all of the dutch licorice is like that, then you need to try Gustaf's Licorice Coins (which my friend refers to as single-salt). They are outstanding as well. Both the double-salt and single-salt are interesting and authentic Dutch confections and I highly recommend them both.

Extra Salty,

This review is from: Gustaf's Dutch Licorice, Double Salt, 7-Ounce Containers (Pack of 6) (Grocery)
Its sad that most of the bad reviews are from people who don't realize what they are purchasing. This is Double Salt Licorice, and its a very salty tasting candy (if you can call it candy). Since its salted with salmiak, it has no sodium (but aluminum).Anyways, when I was a kid I used to love to get rock salt and let it dissolve on my tongue and thought it was way better than regular candy, so as an adult, I have finally found what I consider to be the perfect treat, highly recommended to those people who love salt. This stuff is pretty much perfect, I've tried many different types of Salt Licorice and along with the amazing Tyrkisk Peber, this stuff is the best (note: I prefer the harder candies not the chewy ones). If you're expecting traditional US licorice (which mostly I don't like) then don't waste your time or money.
