Liquorice Amarelli Can from 40 g Red Collection : Spezzatina

Used to love these Liquorice pellets as a child. Stumbled across them via Amazon - so great that they have such treats readily available. Such an intense Liquorise flavour and last for ages. Bonus is not only have I relive a childhood flavour but have revelled in the idea in great infusing them in gin or vodka.! Taste Marvellous

My husband uses these pillows of liquorice to help keep his throat moist and clear when he sings with the Huddersfield Choral Society. One tin will see him through for about 3 months. I can recommend these for that and also because they are great value for money.

Purchased this after seeing Nigella's recipe for licorice pudding which needed the real italian licorice (not the sweety type stuff). Definitely a real licorice taste. There's a lot in the tin which will probably last a while.

First time purchase but it won’t be my last!!!!!

I have become a little bit of a fan of liquorice of late and I wanted to try something more authentic and less sweet and masked with aniseed. Given the strong flavour I guessed that reviews were going to be somewhat polar. I couldn’t decide which ones to try, so I opted for 3 of the seemingly more popular ones and settled for: Liquirizia 100g - £9.90 – Largest pack, largest pellets Liquorice Amarelli 40g £8.25 – Medium pack, medium pellets Simpkins Nipits 12g £4.99 – Smallest pack, smallest pellets All are 100% liquorice and all are hard pellets. For me there was not a lot of difference between Liquirizia and Amarelli in terms of taste. Both were strong and the flavour came out very soon after entering the mouth. The Nipits were a weaker in flavour and the taste was slower to come though and by the time it did, it was gone. The winner for me based on taste was both Liquirizia and Amarelli with value for money putting Liquirizia in first place. I am afraid that Nipits were overly expensive for something that had little taste and resembled mouse droppings. If you are looking for a strong liquorice, then you may enjoy these….just be careful how many you eat per day, especially if over 40. Check the NHS website for liquorice warnings and a safe level to eat.

Order and delivery were problem free licorice is fine but I will no be ordering again. The price is ridiculous.

Made some liquorice pudding with these - the aroma is heavenly. Lovely tin too.

The box was lovely but was not sealed, I’m returning it straight away

Sabor bem marcante e forte, tamanho bom, a latinha é uma gracinha, meio retrô, gostei

Awesome! This was the purest form of licorice that I could find that wasn’t the root. Great strong flavor only need a piece of one sometimes!

These delightful licorice candies are meant to be slowly disolved under your tongue. Some people like to crunch them. Either way, this is the finest quality pure licorice and very, very strong. If you like dark molasses or super bittersweet chocolate that's way more bitter than sweet, then you might like these spezzatinas, too. If you're expecting the typical sugary, anise-flavored candy that's called "licorice" then these are probably not for you. These do not taste like anise in the slightest. There is no added sweetener, only the natural gentle sweetness of pure licorice. I no longer offer them to my friends because they all hate it but that's good because it means more for me! But go easy on these or maybe give them a pass entirely if you have high blood pressure.
