What means "double salted" liquorice?

The ‘dubble zoute dropjes’, double-salted liquorice, come to kadó from the Netherlands. Twice salted liquorice. That is and was a house number in itself, which is why the ‘DZ’ became a brand. Until the European Food Regulation applied to all EU member states, they were a stoopid product in Germany. Since 2001, the salt content has been limited to a maximum of 7.99% throughout the EU and the most famous Dutch liquorice variety has spread to all corners of Europe, where liquorice is also eaten with a strong saltiness. Just how popular this type of liquorice is in the Netherlands is shown by the fact that we have nine different DZ varieties in our range. The DZ mix from kadó contains them all, with the warning ‘Extra strong adult liquorice - no children's liquorice’. That's right. So please take your time and enjoy the bag of these lekker dropjes...

Speaking of ‘drop’ = Dutch for liquorice. The name is not derived from the Latin ‘liquirizia’, but from drop. When liquorice was boiled, a drop of gum arabic was added to make the liquorice a little softer. And so ‘dropjes’ stuck as a name for liquorice. In Germany, it is similar with the salmiac pastille. The pastille is made of liquorice, the flavour is salmiak salt. Here too, a maximum of 7.99% is permitted.
