Old-timers Ship Knots
Per 235 g
Flavor with character
The Oldtimers Harlingen Ship's Knots are made for true lovers of licorice, in the beautiful Jirnsum right by the little river Boorne in Friesland. Made from only the very best ingredients such as real Arabic gum for a firm texture, licorice root for the rich, incomparable taste of licorice, and sugar and glucose-fructose syrup for that typical fully sweet flavor. With only natural colorings and flavorings, and without gluten or gelatin. Just as Jochum Douwenga intended. Oldtimers, that is flavor with character since 1924.
Jochum’s Stories
Ship’s knots and sailor’s curses
It was 1936 when old Van Slooten, bent over the invoices, called my father to him. “Say Douwenga, can you make knot-licorice for me?” My father immediately booked a one-way trip to Harlingen and apprenticed with an old sailor. After four days of weak coffee and Beerenburg, he knew all the ship’s knots and sailor’s curses. He chose three: The Half Hitch, The Flemish Eight, and The Multiple Overhand Knot. “Yes, you could call those knots too,” said old Van Slooten, surprised when he saw the result. “I just meant buttons on trousers. But they taste fantastic.” Whether it’s the taste or the shape, the Ship’s Knots have been unmatched for years.
