Amarelli has been making liquorice in Rossano, on the Ionian coast of Calabria, since 1731. That was the year the family built its first works to extract the juice from the liquorice root, though records show they were already harvesting and selling the root in the 16th century. Spezzatina means small pieces, and that is what this is: hard, solid pellets of pure liquorice. Liquorice is the only ingredient and no sugar is added. The flavor is strong and bittersweet, the true taste of the root with nothing covering it. The 20 g tin reproduces an antique design kept in the archive of the Amarelli house. Because it is pure liquorice, anyone with high blood pressure should not eat it in excess.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
