ANCHORED IN TRADITION!

Jahnke. Driven by the tide.

Hi,
what kind of
JAHNKE guy
are you?

Jahnke. That’s bang on tasty. We don’t just have the world’s finest salted liquorice sweets – we’ve got a whole range of irresistible treats that really pack a punch!

After decades of perfecting our recipes, we’ve mastered the art of quality, and no one does it better. Thanks to our top-notch raw ingredients, our Bontje are truly second to none.

We northerners take great pride in our homeland and its iconic products, and our design reflects that pride. We stick to tradition, doing things the old-fashioned way, while keeping things light-hearted with some classic northern German humour.

STRAIGHT OUTTA
THE NORTH
AND LOVING IT!

Our first captain, Rudi Jahnke, honed his skills as a sweet maker in the 1930s. Working with hot sugar was no easy task, but Rudi wouldn’t have been Rudy if he didn’t master it. By the late 1970s, he opened his own sweet shop in the charming district of Hamburg Altona, naming it Jahnke Süsswaren e.K. With the help of his wife and his girlfriend, Lüdde, who were both dedicated to the cause, created a strong lineup of products.

In 1989, the company had grown so much that it relocated to a bigger facility in Kaltenkirchen. It was there that Rudi’s neighbour, Heinz, took command of the ship as he stepped into the captain’s role. To this day, we continue to produce and sell our delicious Treats from that very location.

In 2024, our good friends at Cavendish & Harvey took over, allowing us to focus entirely on crafting our tasty sweets.

Let’s skip
the small talk!

We can't deliver the sea to your doorstep, but you can bring a piece of the North, along with that holiday vibe, right to your home through our online shop.
