And we keep all this in mind while crafting gummy candy that tastes like sweet and sour happiness!
Where does the name Katjes come from?
The Katjes story began when young Klaus Fassin made licorice cats from an age-old family recipe. He called them Katjes, the Dutch word for kittens, because he thought it was good luck. That name and Klaus's spirit of ingenuity and optimism have stayed with us all these years! In German, our brand is pronounced "Kaht yes" - so buy some plant-based gummies today and say, "Kaht, yes" to fun snacking!
