    No surpise that Venco is increasingly acknowledged as a premium producer of licorice internationally.

    Founded in 1890 in Amsterdam by Gerrit van Voornveld the factory soon captured a central position in the market. During the 1890s an influenza epidemic caused a tremendous increase of the demand for cough surpressing licorice.

    Van Voornveld’s licorice recipe proved to be a winner. At the beginning of the new century, the licorice factory was taken over and the new owners renamed it in Venco.
