Amarelli Rossano Liquirizia di Calabria - pure Italian liquorice from Calabria 100% sugar-free

Amarelli is a world-famous licorice manufactory located in Italian Calabria, which has been producing the black gold loved by lovers of this exquisite taste continuously since 1731 using the same artisanal methods!

Infused with the essence of distinctive licorice, the black glistening fines in classic and fancy shapes contain no sugar or sweeteners, and their unadulterated flavor is only broken by additives such as mint or anise extract.

The best licorice in the world, according to the authoritative text of the Encyclopedia Britannica, is produced in Calabria. This plant, a member of the butterfly family with the scientific name Glycyrrhiza Glabra, has been known to mankind for more than 35 centuries, and from its roots comes a juice recognized over time for its pleasant and medicinal properties.

After the roots are harvested on local lands, as a result of subsequent processing steps that are a successful combination of craftsmanship and technology, the raw root becomes fragrant, black and shiny licorice. The processes of licorice root selection, juice squeezing, boiling and concentration take place in departments that are now sophisticatedly computerized, but are based on the classical art and invariably the final touch is still the licorice master, who personally sees to it that the licorice mass is solidified to the right degree. The thick, black, glossy and fragrant 'cake' takes its desired shape from that point on, thanks to a series of prototype machines developed from the company's several centuries of experience.

This is how Spezzata, Rombetti, Favette, Bianconeri and Sassolini from Amarelli are born. All licorice finds its place in colorful packaging and in iconic metal boxes that reproduce ancient images taken from the archives of the Amarelli House collection, as well as new original and unique designs created especially for Amarelli.

Liquorice from Calabria enjoys special recognition around the world. This region, located in the south of Italy, is known for producing licorice of exceptionally intense flavor and high quality. The soil and climate of Calabria, with hot summers and mild winters, create ideal conditions for growing the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, from which licorice root is extracted.

Calabrian licorice is distinguished not only by its deep, naturally sweet flavor, but also by its health properties. It is considered one of the best in the world, often referred to as the "black gold" of the region. In 2011, it also received the designation of Protected Designation of Origin (DOP), further highlighting its exceptional quality and tradition of production.

Licorice from Calabria is used not only in the confectionery industry, but also in natural medicine, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to soothe digestive problems.
