Finally found some real licorice (no cheap anise in it) for sale in North America

These are great. In North America, it is now very difficult to find a licorice product that does not include anise. When I come across a new licorice, I always read the ingredients hoping not to see anise. When I found these and saw no anise in the ingredients, I thought I would give them a try. They are really good. I found these on vacation in Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada. I wish I would have bought several bags. They were about a buck fifty cheaper in that store than they are online.

As far as any comments about the flavor of this candy not being strong enough--that depends on your palate. Anybody who prefers Panda or any other anise based licorice will never be happy with a pure licorice like this. I absolutely hate the taste of anise. Yes, anise tastes stronger but it also tastes vile to me. Anise is a cheap substitute for real licorice, which is why so many companies use it instead of or in addition to that of real licorice.

Perfectly sweet, delicious, a wonderful treat. And they sell these for a buck a jar at Walmart! If you live in some out of the way place where there isn't a Walmart, just go to their website. They don't have these small jars but they do have the 14oz jars available for less than three bucks a piece. I can't imagine why the price is so high here but I do hope no one is fool enough to pay it. But honestly, the product is fantastic. Pure delight.

I bought some of these at an Asian store in anchorage, I live over 100 miles away. SO HAPPY I found them here!  I work with some Thai folks,they were thrilled with them.  I recently had surgery and had an upset stomach from the drugs, I found myself eating 1-2 of these and I felt better.  I later found out from my Thai friends they are actually good for settling your stomach! Out went my anti nausea pills!  These are not to sweet either  I really love candy from around the world,more so than a lot of American candy.  Thanks!!

I first bought it in an airport and have been desperately looking for it since then - thank goodness for Amazon and being able to buy in bulk! I LOVE licorice and I LOVE pomegranate, so this is the perfect candy in my mind. I'm not gluten-free or vegan, but this YumEarth licorice is a million times better than any other commercial licorice! It's chewy but not sticky, super flavorful, and not too sweet or too tart. If you're trying to decide between YumEarth or the Panda All-natural licorice, don't even waste your time trying Panda and making your tastebuds suffer through that sticky and cardboard-tasting licorice. YumEarth pomegranate is the only one for me! But I do plan on trying peach soon...

House & Garden makes great products. I'm glad that they're finally in the US now. Hopefully items will be easier to find.

Great licorice discovered it at a local pet store. When I saw it on Amazon I was excited. I would have given it 5 stars but last night I saw the same product at Walgreens for a third of the price and it wasn't even on sale. Everything at Walgreens is over priced. Whats going on Amazon?

my order came in a nicely packed heavy yellow cardboard box with licorice made and packed in the Netherlands; three bags contain nearly 7 pounds of fresh, delicious, sweet and *slightly* salty licorice coins!

this licorice may not appeal to heavy ammonium chloride licorice eaters (double-salted), but for my tastes, this licorice combines the best of sweet and salty; the coins dissolve nicely in the mouth, delaying the urge to chew and gobble (and i can gobble some licorice, let me tell you, boy howdy!)

:-)

truly great stuff at a great price - i'd have to pay 2- to 3X as much from my local candy store (and really, where can you find good Dutch licorice at a local brick-and-mortar store? very few 'round my parts - you may be luckier if you live in a tourist area)

i'm tempted to order more, but i'd have to hide them in house in the bottom of my closet - i'd be sure to catch you-know-what if i got caught with another whole box!

you will *not* be disappointed with this licorice if your tastes run to slightly salty and not double-salt, nor chewy sweet!

keep in mind that you need to keep your intake below 50 grams a day if you're watching your blood pressure!

It is very difficult to find decent licorice in the U.S. Most Americans don't like licorice, and with good cause. The truth is that American licorice is made with very low standards and significantly inferior ingredients resulting in a very low grade product. So, of course it is not a popular candy.

But decent licorice does exist elsewhere. In my humble opinion Dutch licorice is the best. (Yes, I am Dutch and biased).

Dutch licorice is made with the finest ingredients (Arabic gum instead of wheat flour) and often with a pinch of salt. It comes in literally thousands of varieties each with their own taste and texture.
The British also make decent licorice candy. And perhaps we can add the Finnish to the list as well.

I recommend Gustaf's licorice to all licorice lovers.

HARIBO BLACK LICORICE WHEELS
  i was born in Germany where we eat HARIBO Licorice/Gummi Candy the way we eat Popcorn in the US.  Once you start eating, you just cannot stop.
  The licorice wheels are just the REAL THING and have been around in Europe forever - around 100 years.  Quality and taste ... through and through. Many licorice/gummi producers have been trying to imitate HARIBO... but no other brand comes even close!!!  The wheels are chewy with a medium licorice flavor....not too sweet and not too salty.  Besides that, you can have fun with them by peeling them apart into many different strings.
  And to find HARIBO at Amazon.com is just as wonderful - the price cannot be beat.
  You  do not pay taxes, no shipping charges and then delivery directly to your place . . . what a bargain!
  Keep those wonderful HARIBO products coming, Amazon.
  Your grateful customer.

I am so glad I finally was lucky enough to get my hands on some, the first time you guys had it it was sold out by the time I found out. Worth every penny and I'll probably buy more when you guys have it again.

I had been looking for a gluten free black licorice and stumbled upon Gimbal's.  Not only is the licorice adorable Scottie Dogs, this is some of the best licorice I have ever had.

i JUST ORDERED MY SECOND..OR IS IT THIRD...BAG OF THESE SUGAR FREE CANDIES IN THE LICORICE FLAVOR.  I HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH TWO OTHER FLAVORS BUT THIS ONE IS PERFECT. THE ROBUST LICORICE TASTE AND SMELL IS PERFECT AND BEING SUGAR FREE GIVES IT AN EXTRA FIVE POINTS.

IF YOU LOVE LICORICE AND YOU DON'T WANT THE SUGARY STUFF; THIS IS FOR YOU.

THE PRICE IS FAIR AS WELL.

These are my favorite gummies and only had them in Europe before I found them here on Amazon. Tangy sweet with a hint of licorice - divine! The seller is great and we received them a few days earlier than expected.

We have had a hard time finding the Licorice Spice Herbal Tea in the local grocery stores. Both my husband and I love it and go through at least 4 bags a day. I was delighted to find the option of ordering a large amount of the tea bags through Amazon. I can use my points and Amazon Prime and get a real deal. Last time I ordered the tea was free and the package came the day after I ordered!!

This is good! We had another source that is out of commission, at least currently, with Tangerine Marmalade. This isn't that easy to find, folks. I was so glad to see the offering by Just Jan's. My husband and I used it for the first time yesterday. High quality product. We'll be back for moree.

I was a little reluctant to buy this product after reading some of the reviews but I took a chance on it anyway. Glad I did. They are excellent. I can't see any other brand tasting better. It isn't exactly what I was looking for but it was darn close. You see back in the day late 50's to early 60's as a kid I use to purchase penny candy. One of the candy stores sold what they called a Black Licorice Record and it resembled a black phonograph record. Reminded me of a LP record in a sense. It was flat black licorice all rolled up and in the center of it was a red hot candy. I have looked on the net on occasion for years but couldn't even find a picture of what I once knew. I did see the Black Licorice Wheels though on the net. Tired of looking for the other I found these on Amazon at what I thought was a very good price for 4.4lbs. I took a chance. So happy I did because taste wise they taste just like the the ones I purchased during the 50's and 60's missing the red dot candy. Maybe the manufacturer will think about adding that red hot candy to a batch of them and sell them that way. It kind of adds another flavor into the mix of things and makes all the difference in the world to someone like me.
