Licorice.com Gourmet Licorice Candy | Strawberry and Black Licorice | Australian Red and Black Twists

One of my favorite new finds, this licorice is excellent!

Love the Australian Black. Not so much the finished black. Not much flavor. Hmmmm!

Ordered two of the red licorice flavors. Not a fan. The pieces were extremely hard and difficult to chew. Flavor was nothing special. Because the pieces were so tough and hard to chew, they were difficult to swallow. I found them sticking in my throat and feared a choking hazard. Since they were not returnable and because of the potential choking problem, I discarded both tubs.Big disappointment.

Okay, lets start with appearance; the bottoms of each container are marked either Red or Black, the tops however only state Red. Guess they ran out of Black lids. After opening the tubes, after all they are tubes with tube tops, anyway, they are cut into nice sized pieces. The red are Red, the Black are brown. Now, taste, I remember black licorice (haven't had black licorice in a very long time) as being very hard to accept based on the harsh flavor. I have just gone with red licorice all these years. But, I decided to try black licorice again. Couldn't find any in any stores so went to Amazon. I didn't want the standard chemical factory brew, wanted something as close to a true licorice. So I found these and decided to give them a try. The Red is supposed to be Strawberry. Okay, there is a sort of artificial berry taste, strawberry, okay, it isn't bad, just not as pronounced as I was expecting. Now, the Black, which I was preparing myself for was actually mild. It is quite pleasant to consumer, nothing like the bitter black licorice I remember from the stone age era. I like them both. Not sure how long they will stay fresh in the tubes they come in since the tubes don't actually seal them. If you consume candies rather quickly then that is not going to be an issue, but I eat maybe one or two pieces a day if that so I may have to put them into sealable container to keep them from drying out and getting hard. I do like them though.

Stiff texture, smells like candy, tastes really good. In our house I like the solid ones and the guys like the spiral ones. Fun containers to hold them in.

Love thesei buy for myself and my sister

This licorice is wonderful if you buy directly from the company its soft and fresh. When ever i have bought through amazon its hard as a rock from sitting in a warehouse somewhere.Buy this product but not through amazon.

Although pricey, I thought is was worth it. I'm not a candy eater but I wanted to give a try once. I winded up buying a double order a second time! II found them very addictive, I had it in my kitchen and every time I made a cup of coffee, I would get a few pieces. I come out of the bathroom, I have stop in the kitchen for a few more pieces. I grab my water bottle to go bicycling, I add a handful in a baggie for a riding snack. Other brands I've tried taste like cardboard or are tasteless. You don't need this as a constent diet but worth the very tasty treat. Like in an old TV add; "Try it, you'll like it!"
