Memoirs of a liquorice maker

The fact that Oldtimers liquorice is still being made at the Van Slooten factory in the small village of Jirnsum isn’t all that obvious... Only due to the shared willpower of the four Douwenga generations, the recipes with their distinctive taste have been preserved.

Watch the memoirs of Jochum Douwenga and let yourself be carried away by the story behind Oldtimers.
