This is the REAL licorice! These tiny tic-tac sized hard pellets melt in your mouth as a treat or can be melted down in hot water to make a soothing tea. Looking for an extract supplement? No problem! This pellet is small enough to be taken as a supplement as well. Our extracts are available in an easy-open flip top box. Our licorice extract is made with juice that comes directly from the fresh roots of the licorice plant. Nothing is added or removed. This is the pure licorice that nature intended. Review: If you don’t know what licorice really is, don’t buy this - I’ve seen reviews saying “disgusting” or “I had spit it out una few seconds”. Well, these are probably people who expected the candy flavor of licorice. Those candies are mostly sugars (melassa) and just a tiny 3% of licorice extract. Sometimes even a small amount of anice, which is extracted from fennel seeds and has nothing to deal with licorice. Licorice is a bush and it’s extract is from the roots. In fact, you can also buy those roots and chew them (that’s kind of weird to me too). These are not candies. These are little blocks of pure extract from those roots; that means nearly 100% of licorice, no sugars, no gelatins, no oil or flavors. So, obviously is a completely different and way more intense licorice flavor and many can’t stand it. You’re not wrong, just be aware it’s a very intense taste and you may not like it. However, crush one or two of these and dissolve them in hot water, or use them to make a small batch of ice cream and you will get the licorice flavor you like. Licorice is extremely healthy and if pure, it’s obviously more effective. The price is offensive. I’m from Italy where you can buy pure licorice in any convincentesi store for maybe $2... but hey, this is not Italy :) Review: Serious Yuk - If you love the taste of tar and asphalt, you will love this. ## Features - USDA Certified 100% Organic by QCS - Gluten free, sugar free, no sugar substitutes - Non-GMO product - Made in Italy - 0 calories ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008PDV2D8 | | Age Range Description | 13+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,195 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #110 in Licorice Candy | | Brand | Zagarese | | Brand Name | Zagarese | | Candy Consistency | Hard | | Color | Black | | Container Type | Box | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 1,099 Reviews | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavor | Original | | Item Form | treat | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 24.95 g | | Manufacturer | Zagarese | | Model Number | PP-GRCE15989 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 3 | | Package Information | Box | | Part Number | PP-GRCE15989 | | Size | 0.88 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Gluten Free,Non-gmo | | Style | Licorice | | Sugar Candy Type | hard candy | | UPC | 683548002011 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zagarese - **Flavor:** Original - **Item Form:** treat - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Information:** Box ## Images ![Zagarese Organic Licorice Extract, Original flavor, Small Hard Bits, Bold Licorice Treat, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free, 0.7 oz Box - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61gErY+4ywL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these hard or chewy?** A: They are hard, slightly smaller than a tic-tac breath mint. No sugar at all. It will dissolve in your mouth in a couple minutes. Some have commented that these are bitter, but I don’t think so. They are just pure licorice flavor without sugar. **Q: Seller, where is the usda certified organic label? you say you are 100 percent organic. please explain b/fore purchasing again. thank you.** A: It’s on the side of the box, near the top. **Q: what are the ingredients?** A: WRONG! THere's 2 ingredients: organic anise flavor is the 2nd. Who knows what "flavor" hides! Do a search on "natural flavors" to see what I mean. Btw, REAL licorice tastes NOTHING like anise & vice versa. Licorice is bitter & way too strong, it's rather disgusting actually! Anise flavor sweetens it up. It might make you crave sugar but plain licorice is also an appetite suppressant. 50/50 **Q: What is the organic anise flavor? is it made from real anise? or just an additive (aka msg) ... often you will see "anise flavor" or "natural flavors"** A: The name says it all "organic anise". Organic cannot be modified. Organic anise means PURE anise. The package says it all. Licorice root and anise extract are the ONLY two ingredients. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you don’t know what licorice really is, don’t buy this *by F***A on February 15, 2021* I’ve seen reviews saying “disgusting” or “I had spit it out una few seconds”.

I place it under my tongue and let it dissolve. The taste is awful...bitter...but that is because it is licorice root and not candy. When I read other reviews this item received poor rankings only because people didn't read and thought they were purchasing candy. Item is extremely small but that was expected if you read the description. ## Frequently Bought Together - Zagarese 100% Organic Licorice, Original, 0.88 Ounce Flip Top Box - St. Claire's Organic Herbal Pastilles, (Licorice, 1.5 Ounce Tin, Bundle of 3) | Gluten-Free, Vegan, GMO-Free, Plant-based, Allergen-Free | Made in our Allergen-Free facility - ZOT 100% pure Organic Licorice, Original fl., 0.88 Ounce flip top box, Set of 3 boxes --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20266601-zagarese-organic-licorice-extract-original-flavor-small-hard-bits-bold](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/20266601-zagarese-organic-licorice-extract-original-flavor-small-hard-bits-bold) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
