Pure Liquorice Pellets 150g Tin | Pure Italian Liquorice of Calabria

Although I wasn't sure what to expect as my normal view point it a soft pliable texture which still has the beneficial qualities expounded by many health professionals...but...I just love these small pellet size pieces which are quite the opposite of the ones I thought would arrive..so my preference is just 2 pellets a day, which I also find refresh my pallet...and the small screwtop jar is a handy size to keep on the kitchen table...good value, price and will definitely buy this product again...though this is my personal view point...

Great product. I use it to make Nigella's liquorice pudding. I do grind it to a powder first as it takes quite a lot of dissolving but a delicious flavour.

Could be a bit stronger in taste. Very good price. Pellets are a nice size.

Delicious

A nice container and well presented. May be fine for more modern times and those who find the full bodied, intense flavour and ultra smooth texture of genuine, past experiences of hard Black Italian liquorice too strong. However, both the rougher, gritty texture and the limited, diluted/diminished flavour came as an unwelcome surprise. NOT REFUNDABLE, UNSURPRISING! The first taste is an immediate disappointment, requiring return by those mislead by the description of the item! The real hard Black liquorice, bites are very, very smooth in texture and have a full intensity of undiluted, liquorice flavour, which continues in intensity in the mouth until it's gone. Almost an acquired taste! According to the ingredients, only pure liquorice is listed. This is the same as the the genuine, full bodied original. However this version tastes quite watered down, which will presumably be fine for those who find the original too strong. Only two stars 1. because of the misleading aspect of the presentation; genuine? possibly, but NOT the same as the original in depth of flavour, follow up intensity or smoothness of each pellet/nugget : 2. Inability to return the full jar, with the exception of a single pellet, although I could have wrapped that up separately and included it too. A single, brief taste was enough. Update, I've been trying these pellets off and on for the last month, but have given up as they are so unsatisfactory, irritating on the tongue and disappointing, 4 of these don't compare with a single genuine Pellet bought in Italy. Look for the smooth texture and High gloss. The item below is genuine in both looks and flavour and although a little costly, they are much cheaper than going to Italy for them. AMARELLI, SOEZZATA, 100gm in a cardboard Packet or. AMARELLI, 'Liquouirizia di Calabria' in a TIN 40gm, give real satisfaction of a genuine, full flavoured, smooth Italian hard liquorice experience. These are Well worth buying. A little costly but not too bad one packet lasts and the experience is well worth the money. Just bought some as a present for my Italian friend, who is delighted to have these genuine, little bites of home.

Superb product, good old fashioned 'spanish type' hard liquorice, cut into smaller pieces.

Disappointing - lacks any depth of flavour.

Husband loves it xx
