A Sweet History

Licorice wheels, also known as “zwart-wit rolletjes” in Dutch or simply “liquorice whirls,” are a popular European candy made by coiling long, thin strands of black licorice into tight spirals. Their origins trace back to early 20th-century Europe, especially in countries like Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands, where licorice has long been a traditional sweet. The wheel shape likely evolved as a fun and practical way to package licorice strings—making them easy to unroll and eat. Often flavored with real licorice root extract and sometimes mild hints of anise, licorice wheels became a nostalgic favorite for both children and adults. They remain a staple in European candy shops and are recognized for their playful form and classic licorice flavor.
