Verburg Premium Licorice Review: Great buy, delicious product - I know there have been many reviews, hyper-critical about packaging and freshness. But I decided to try them and received my first order today. To begin with, the packaging was absolutely first rate…the product was bagged in air tight cellophane and then sealed in a heavy duty cardboard box. On trying the product, the taste was delicious and comparable to other Allsorts I’ve had. With regards to freshness, while the layered pieces were slightly firm to the bite, they tasted fresh and, for me, were totally acceptable (and not tooth-cracking hard as some have reported). The black licorice “logs” were very soft and chewy…which said to me that the candy was in fact freshly packaged and that the firmness of the layered pieces was more about the way they were manufactured/formulated in the first place. All in all, I am very pleased with the purchase and, if this is any indication, I will definitely be re-ordering again in the future. Review: This was so very disappointing! - I love this kind of licorice and was looking forward so to receiving my order so I could enjoy it. When the box arrived, which also contained other ordered items, it was obvious with handling the box in getting it into the house that some container/bag had broken and its contents spilled out and now traveling about the box. I knew right away what it was - the licorice! the 2.5# bag had burst at the bottom (was not secured or cushioned in any way for travel), and I had to retrieve every last piece from the shipping box. I immediately could tell that the product was most certainly not fresh - each piece very powdery, dried out, layered pcs separated. Further, the pcs are hard as a rock. Not a pc in these 2/5# was inviting to try! It's my assumption this was bagged separately from some larger amount of storage. I'm very disappointed in this, made no sense to send it back, so I guess it will go in the garbage since I determine it to be inedible. Never before have I've been disappointed by desertcart in this particular food product, and I've ordered it often. Please follow up with this provider and do not do business with them again. Thank you for allowing me to rant. ## Features - NEW PACKAGE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007SXJZBW | | Age Range Description | 6+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #74,659 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #309 in Licorice Candy | | Brand | Gustaf's | | Brand Name | Gustaf's | | Candy Consistency | Chewy | | Color | Multicolor | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 4,466 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Licorice | | Is the Item Heat Sensitive? | No | | Item Form | Licorice | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.34 Kilograms | | Item Shape | Mixed | | Manufacturer | Gustaf's | | Model Number | KOKO-ming-UJJl534 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Information | Bag | | Part Number | KOKO-ming-UJJl534 | | Size | 2.5 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Kosher | | Sugar Candy Type | Licorice | | UPC | 885401618326 | | Unit Count | 40 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Gustaf's - **Flavor:** Licorice - **Item Form:** Licorice - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 40 Ounce ## Images ![English Licorice Allsorts - 2.5 LB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lFDI-ppVL.jpg) ![English Licorice Allsorts - 2.5 LB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Iz4VkmXoL.jpg) ![English Licorice Allsorts - 2.5 LB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RKFLqmaFL.jpg) ![English Licorice Allsorts - 2.5 LB - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A49RaOJML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a sealed bag from Gustaf's or is it a repackaged item from bulk supplies?** A: the package that I received in January 2019 seemed to be from a bulk supplier. It was in a zippered bag with a copied label stuck to the front. **Q: where can we find the ingredients?** A: the ingredients should be listed on the label or on amazon scroll down the page **Q: How does this compare to Bassett's and Haribo Licorice Allsorts? sweeter? harder? better flavors?** A: I think Bassett's is the best. Haven't tried Haribo allsorts, but I don't like Haribo very well. Gustaf's licorice is good, but the flavors in the allsorts aren't quite as tasty as Bassett's. **Q: Smaller bags of candy. this size is for parties or halloween.amazon and walmart both do this. why? shop sites where i can choose sizes and not be left** A: It is less expensive and still delicious, I keep this in a tightly closed coffee can and I find that it keeps it fresher. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy, delicious product *by E***L on March 9, 2024* I know there have been many reviews, hyper-critical about packaging and freshness.

A relatively small store sold many kinds of candy including Gustaf’s Allsorts. I found the candy was a bit hard to chew but it had good licorice flavor. After getting back from vacation I decided to order more of this licorice and found it through Amazon. I bought a 2-1/2# package for less than I paid for an 8 oz container I had earlier. I ordered it and two days later I had my first taste of a moist, soft, fresh candy that took me back to my childhood. This was a very satisfying purchase that I will surely make again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gustaf's English Licorice Allsorts - 2.5 LB - Gustaf's English Licorice Allsorts | 2 Pound Bag | Gourmet Candy, Assorted Flavors - Wiley Wallaby Licorice 24 Ounce Classic Gourmet Soft & Chewy Australian Black Licorice Candy Twists, 1 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5071737-english-licorice-allsorts-2-5-lb](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/5071737-english-licorice-allsorts-2-5-lb) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
