Amarelli
The Amarelli family in Rossano, Calabria have been making the highest quality artisan liquorice since 1731. According to the ‘Encyclopedia Brittanica’ the best liquorice in the world comes from Calabria.
Amarelli liquorice is serious liquorice and was awarded a gold medal by the ‘Society of Italian Chemists’ in 1987.
It is made from root of the liquorice plant ‘Glycerrhiza glabra’ which grows wild along the Calabrian coast in southern Italy. Amarelli make a pure, harder style liquorice than the sweet molasses confectionery style or salty Dutch version. It is quite strong when you first try it, but becomes less so as your palate develops and habit sets in …
But this is not just yet another bad habit - it is one with health benefits! Aside from the total lack of fat, Amarelli liquorice protects the respiratory system, combats sore throats, acts as an expectorant and regulates the digestive system.
And most of the range comes in extremely collectable-looking tins!
