Calabria Liquorice dates back to 1731
As a kid I'm sure I can remember some of the tins maybe Daddy Frank had some ??
Liquorice come from the roots of small weedy shrubs that grow just off the coast of the Lonian Sea and also in other countries that have the small geographical line.
The roots are 1.5 to 2 m deep but the top is only about 800mm high, hmmm did not know that.
Its is boiled like a tea and thicken it has a strong bitter taste, one that needed to go discreetly into my hanky!
Tried some more in the factory hmmm thanks to modern techniques it is now edible.
The Amarelli family still own and run the business and are in the top few precent of company's world wide that have been run for over 285 years. so with that said they have a great treasures and stuff in the family museum.
