Menozzi De Rosa - Pure Liquorice Pellets 45g Tin | Pure Italian Liquorice of Calabria

I bought these because I have a very sweet tooth, (liquorice being in my top 5) and I have recently changed my eating habits to more health conscious diet. i remember imps from when I was a kid and started a search, these were the closest I could find at a reasonable price. They are just what i was looking for and as a result I now receive them via subscription. They are great in the evening to stave off a sweet craving and also good for long trips in the car.

This is pleasant pure hard liquorice in a convenient plastic tub, not to be mistaken for the soft stuff sold in sweetie shops. Although nice, it's flavour is somewhat lacking when doing a side-by-side comparison with a box of Amarelli Spezzatina.

Excellent quality price❤️

45g of small black cushion shaped pieces of 100% pure liquorice, in a sealed plastic flip top, air tight tub.There are a lot of equal sized pieces, meaning that these are economical, depending upon how they are consumed.Classic unadulterated liquorice taste that initially dissolves fairly quickly but then mid way, lingers.Pure liquorice may stain teeth and have a laxative quality given sufficient quantity.Being 100% pure, is ideal for food recipes and has been used by opera singers to maintain a clear voice.These are excellent value, a definite for all liquorice lovers and top quality.

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.

Not cheap but lasts for ages

I bought this expecting it to be good quality, hard liquorice to chew on. But the product is bitter, brittle (like crunchy and powdery) and has no sweetness to it. The fact it’s £10 is absurd, you can get better liquorice from a petrol station for £1. I don’t advise buying it if you’re looking for good quality liquorice that tastes good

Really nice, but they do work out quite expensive for what they are
