In the courts of the Middle Ages, it was in vogue, a romantic refrain that the knights dedicated to the ladies: “Love is a dream, sweet as milk and liquorice”.
In Italy, licorice is enjoyed as a hard or soft candy, usually button-shaped or tiny squares, with no added sugar because the licorice root has its own sweetness. In fact, the woody root itself was used (and for some, still is) as chew stick or toothbrush, prized for its anti-bacterial and breath-freshening qualities.
For St. Patrick’s Day we’ve created a new flavour just for you. Italian Green & Black Licorice Gelato 55. Made in small batches next door in our on-site kitchens.
Not a licorice fan? We’ve got our green pistachio gelato. Or forget about going green and try one of the several other flavours available.
