Welcome to the liquorice paradise! Whether you are looking for your favourite liquorice or are surprised by the handmade liquorice blends, would like to delight your loved ones with a gift, liquorice subscription, voucher - choose your category and immerse yourself in the liquorice variety of kadó. Here the heart of a liquorice fan beats faster!
If you want to get to know the variety of liquorice from Iceland to Sicily, you have the opportunity here. Choose a flavour and the respective mixture offers the spectrum of flavours. Liquorice crosses through our range, good for beginners and explorers. Get ready to be surprised!
The coastal inhabitants probably invented the addition of salt to liquorice. The Netherlands and Scandinavia shape this category with wonderfully spicy combinations. The rough sea air can be found in the licorice varieties. Salt liquorice greets sea breeze - Ahoy!
Our extra salty liquorice varieties are only for adults. They are scratching the permitted limit of 7.99 percent added salt. Whether black and double salted or licorice sprinkled with a salt crust - no eye stays dry here!
If you only know Salmiak from cleaning, you've missed the best. Known as rock salt since ancient times, ammonia is still used for seasoning. Depending on the recipe, liquorice is given a mildly spicy, sweet-hearted or spicy note by ammonia. Liquorice for adults!
Our selection of sweet and mild liquorice ranges from aromatically soft, fruity filled and variegated licorice. The offer is as wide as there are sweets in Europe. No liquorice is the same here!
Our sweet-bitter, or "romaneque" liquorice with its natural flavours is from the South of Europe. Just like a mediterranean garden, these sorts are flavored with mint, citrus, elderflower, blackberry, honey, violet or aniseed. Experience the origins of liquorice here!
These tiny pieces of liquorice come from Italy, France and Spain and bring southern natural aromas such as mint, violet, anise and citrus. The circulatory stimulant clycyrrhizin is part of this natural product. That's why you shouldn't consume more than 5 grams of pure liquorice a day!
Make you happy with liquorice from kadó - for example with a liquorice mixture in a beautiful jewelry box or tin, an entertaining read about black passion, a cookbook with cooking ingredients, a liquorice subscription or a voucher? There is something presentable for every budget!
With the liquorice voucher you give away the key to the liquorice paradise. Whether looking forward to our liquorice variety and real indulgence in liquorice enjoyment - leave the decision to the recipient!
With the liquorice subscription, our variety of liquorice is tasted in peace and quiet, for a year. Or a half for a sniff. The liquorice shipments always arrive in the mailbox on the 10th of the month. If you want to make yourself or a liquorice fan happy, subscribe to liquorice in the house!
Our boxes, tins, and dispensers are small liquorice greeting cards from all over Europe, each with its own unique design. These little tins are nice and handy, ideal companions for on the go!
Liquorice in its liquid state is a species in itself: on ice, in cocktails, as an infusion, for lemonade or pure enjoyment - just sniff and sip!
Liquorice as a spice in the kitchen? But yes. Can it be mustard with liquorice or tagliatelle? Jam or chutney? The fine little kitchen helpers from Italy and Scandinavia bring amazing nuances of taste to the table. Happy testing - we look forward to your new liquorice recipes!
We are there for you from Mon to Sat! Whether collection or dispatch desired. For spontaneous liquorice cravings... just ring the bell, sing, dance ...
Liquorice to the movie? Selected cinemas in Berlin offer some liquorice mixtures to the film. Sweet or salty, black-coloured and delicious. Enjoy a black eve!
kadó behind the scenes. Anyone who wants to find out what it's like in the kadó liquorice shop has the opportunity to do so on a guided tour with Eat the World. kadó is the "culinary partner" of this delightful offer and opens its whispering door just for the tour guests.
kadó meets the artisan box makers. High-quality paper from Japan is turned into customised boxes at USE - practical and beautiful! Two Kreuzbergers come together to enjoy charitable work. Liquorice for the box!
For small and medium-sized companies looking for something special, liquorice from kadó is the perfect gift. We have gifts to suit individual tastes. Contact us and have a chat about liquorice from Europe!
What is liquorice? Do all liquorice taste the same? Cooking with liquorice? Here we chat from our liquorice knowledge, tell how it came to the book about liquorice, show how liquorice is produced, inspire to cook with liquorice powder. And are curious about your liquorice anecdote!
A few facts concisely told, informative and worth the read for a liquorice deep dive. What are the ingredients in liquorice? What is salmiac? How long have these black delicacies been available? This is where we chat away through our years of liquorice knowledge!
We wanted to explore some questions that we had heard frequently at work: Why is liquorice black? Is "salmiac" a type of liquorice too? What is the deal with "bears poo"? So we developed the idea to tell a few interesting and funny stories around liquorice in a little book. Viola!
The example of our ginger liquorice shows how liquorice is produced. This recipe was commissioned by kadó and developed in the food laboratory. Our salty sea urchins and our cinnamon glaze jelly are also exclusive kadó!
Liquorice moves into the spice racks not only of professional chefs. Liquorice powder gives the special touch of pasta, salad dressing, jam, meat and pastries. Here is fried, boiled and tried. Start with our cookbox, ...we look forward to your recipe, please to info@kado.de
The small and large liquorice monsters visit us every day and we share our liquorice stories. Some come from early childhood, others only start with kadó. We are always curious to hear a new one - and would be very happy to hear from you!
In 1997 the first One-Thing-Liquorice-Shop was founded in Berlin-Kreuzberg. kadó, inspired by french cadeau, should become a gift to every liquorice fan. Media accompanied kadó from the beginning, it´s a journey through time by its own. As our little kadó-story is. Have a look!
kadó was established in 1997 as the first specialized Liquorice Shop in Germany. This was discovered by some media, and they followed and reported on the store. Travel back in time with the help of our archive - radio, tv, press and web!
Luckily enough, throughout the years we took a photo every now and then during work hours. And without this little photographic treasure trove, we wouldn´t be able to tell the kadó story, from the very beginning until today. An amusing read, followed by a smile guaranteed!
Liquorice poetry is created when lovers share their fondness with us. Poems to liquorice you can read here...

Here are the explanations from the kadó events of these 5 years.
Or play another game right away?
The idea behind the concept "To Good To Go", founded in Denmark, is to save food that would end up in the rubbish because of its appearance or because of the best-before date. Bakers, restaurants, grocery shops join in. Also kadó. In this way, both sides contribute to environmentally friendly waste avoidance. Those who can't pick up "to go" in person in Kreuzberg might "save" a kadó wonder bag marked by the expiry date online?
On our research trips, we always include a detour to the local flea market in search of old licorice tins. Frank usually has the right nose, with which dealer and in which box he has to rummage. Over the years, an exquisite collection of European boxes & tins came together, on display in our little shop window. Salmiakpastillen are certainly the best known liquorice in Germany - here 2 ingredients complement each other in the most effective way: liquorice and salmiak salt (ammonium chloride). Good against cough and hoarseness until today.
Liquorice advertisements and rare lithographs also found a new home at kadó.
This little red devil wants to spread terror on the Finnish liquorice package "Sisu Horna". For some liquorice monsters, this is a recommendation to try this mix of salmiac and violet flavouring. Sisu means strength of character, endurance, perseverance. When it comes to liquorice, nothing is too daring for the Finns - sisu!
The liquorice subscription. kadó has many customers who are regularly surprised by a liquorice shipment. Around the 10th of each month, the black mail arrives in the letterbox with a leaflet telling you what to taste this time. Over the course of a year, our European liquorice assortment is tasted - a feast for lovers and those who want to become one.
The decoration in the kadó shop window changes every 6 weeks. The "artists" from the team have a lot of fun putting ideas into practice, tinkering, building and painting. This window was professionally designed and shows liquorice flowers. Idea and realisation by Martina Dimitrova, freelance scenographer.
Only the best for our customers. How do we present good liquorice? In a beautiful bag. Developed and produced for us, a jewel exclusively at kadó. And from now on also on the 6th floor of Kadewe. Voilà, our chocolate-liquorice-marble-mix in a decorative bag!
The decorative box from kadó in its own design. Externally inspired by the leaves of the liquorice plant, it has room inside for 350g of liquorice. Here, for example, is our salt mix, which combines all the salty varieties from Iceland to Sicily, from lightly to heavily salted. Do you prefer sweet or the kadó mix of sweet and salty liquorice? Make your choice at kadó or on the 6th floor at KaDeWe!
Always on the lookout for liquorice truffles, we are actually surprised once in a while in Germany. The combination of marzipan and liquorice deliciously balances the delicate almond flavour with the tartness of pure liquorice. Covered in white chocolate, this praline is almost perfect. A greeting from northern Germany - MoinMoin Scandinavia!

William Wires roams around Berlin and paints his perspective of Berlin. He also immortalised us by the way and since then the kadó liquorice shop has also been available on postcard. Every liquorice subscriber knows it, because this card is enclosed with the first liquorice shipment and explains what to expect liquorice-wise over the next 12 months. Everything is sent on its way from here - enjoy.
The voucher comes with the key to the liquorice paradise. Liquorice lovers sniff through the kadó liquorice variety according to their taste and indulge - shhh, please do not disturb.
