Insanely delicious licorice February 25, 2005
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
First: to review the contents. Kookaburra is an insanely delicious licorice--the flavor can only be compared to dark, dark chocolate. Ordinary domestic licorice you may have eaten in the past is a pale, anise-flavored ersatz shadow compared to this. If you remember how licorice tasted years and years ago, this is it. Kookaburra actually HAS licorice root in it; American licorice uses cheap anise oil and thus has barely any real flavor. Warning; if you tend to high blood pressure, excessive real licorice can be bad for you--causes water retention. Aside from that I can't think of a reason not to enjoy this treat.
My only complain is that the price for 10 oz. is a bit steep. This is one of the best licorice out there, however, and for a real addict of this herbal treat, there is nothing like it.

I enjoyed the Kookaburra black licorice, but shop around because the bags from the Candy Depot are only 10 ounces. Other online retailers are selling 16 oz bags, and there's not a lot of difference in price. Also, make sure the retailer isn't trying to make up the difference by gouging you on shipping cost. Next time I'll be more careful.

It is very difficult to find really good black licorice. This is good tasting black licorice, but for me, this isn't the best licorice in the world. Mostly, I didn't care for the texture: chunks of sticky, not very chewy, solid rope. I was hoping for a texture similar to Red Vines: hollow sticks with a bit of chew-challenge. Once upon a time, my local candy store would get very very fresh licorice sticks in weekly. I am trying to recapture that pleasure, and this wasn't it.

I recently purchased a bag of Kookaburra Black Licorice at Target (of all places) Real licorice lovers in US know how difficult it to find REAL black licorice here, so I was delighted to find this product at a retail store AND at my fave online store. It is "gourmet-priced" candy, but still a reasonably priced treat that's well worth it. It is far, far better than the crud that's passed off as black licorice in this country! (no wonder so many people say they dislike it!)Kookaburra Black Licorice is the real, old-fashioned licorice deal, in HUGE pieces that are perfect for a mid-day licorice fix.
Buy a bag for your fellow licorice lovers, or invite a supposed black-licorice hater to try the real deal--they just might change their minds...This would also make a great, inexpensive just-for-the-heck-of-it gift for an elderly person who fondly remembers the taste of REAL licorice. Oh yeah, one little word of warning though: Real licorice can have a mild laxative effect in some people. :)

If you really [and I mean really] enjoy the true flavor of Licorice you will find Kookaburra to be the ultimate. There is not much else to say except right on.
