Pure liquorice is a taste for many but not for everyone, especially the unsweetened one, on the other hand liquorice combined with other flavours has conquered a large audience, the strong flavour of liquorice cannot be suffocated by any other flavour, but from its union with a complementary aroma, usually something fresh and sweet, a new one can be born.
Haribo, which specialises in gummy sweets, could not fail to give its interpretation of soft liquorice sweets, it did so by creating the delicious filled logs (in this case in mini version), gummy sweets whose external coating flavoured with liquorice extract envelops a sweet filling with various fruit flavours.

Let's find out more about liquorice

Liquorice is a vegetable extract obtained by drying the underground stem of a plant whose scientific name is Glycyrrhiza glabra and then treating it in hot water. Licorice is native to the south-eastern area of ​​the Mediterranean basin and the Near East, already known by the Assyrians, Egyptians and Greeks, various properties have been attributed to it by traditional medicine which have also been partly confirmed by modern science. For example, its action against coughs has been confirmed and is still used in modern medicines for this purpose.
Some curiosities about licorice: “Glycyrrhiza” comes from the Greek and means sweet root. However, we wrote “underground stem” not root, we are right ... botanically the part of the plant used is not really the root, but the rhizome, that is, a part of the stem that has changed and expanded to act as a deposit of nutrients. This is true not only for liquorice, there are other plants whose rhizome is used but it is commonly referred to as a "root" because it is found underground, but if the root is the organ that absorbs water and nutrients from the soil and the rhizome (present only in some plants) is a deposit of nutrients, what will be of interest to us?
So not a root, but it is really sweet, liquorice has a sweetening power superior to sucrose, so much so that it is used in pharmacies as a sweetener, so why do we add sugar? (lovers do not always prefer it pure) because liquorice has a very strong and particular flavor and after the first impact on the palate which is decidedly sweet, it reveals a slightly astringent, almost bitterish aftertaste, this is especially true for the dried "root" (for convenience let's call it that too) and for the extract, while the product before drying has a sweet and aromatic flavor.
