Short Dated Powdered Liquorice From Calabria, 100g

Powdered Liquorice from Calabria – or Polvere di Liquiriza di Calabria – is an aniseed-flavoured, woody spice ground from liquorice root. It adds a wonderful aniseed flavour to both sweet and savoury dishes. Liquorice has been grown on the Mediterranean coastline for centuries, and was used as far back as Ancient Greece, when it was prized for its medicinal properties. 

Calabria, a famed region of Italy, is renowned for producing the best liquorice in the world. This liquorice powder is delicious in dishes with southern Italian flavours. Try mixing a little powdered liquorice from Calabria into pasta dough, and serving it with rabbit or game. It’s also a great way of enhancing stews and adding a little extra flavour to dry meat rubs.
