Haribo Licorice products in Australia???????????

[Merlin66]

Why is it so hard to find decent licorice in Oz??
All the "Licorice shops" I contact don't stock Haribo licorice????
The NZ Black Knight is about the best you can find.

Much better than the soft
licorice flavoured (1%) Molasses available here in Australia.
(Would you call a meat pie a meat pie with <1% meat content!!!)

I Hear you

I grew up with Black Knight Liquorice and for me its always been unchanged in its texture and taste

The kiwi foods shop in Sydney has closed down, so no more black knight
we've been scanning the net for another local supplier to no avail

now I want to try Halibro (almost sounds kiwi as well bro!)

good luck

Our local Coles has a Kiwi section and they have been selling black night for a long time.

I like licorice, it has some health benefits also.

I used to buy mine in a Dutch shop in Sydney. Try this one on line

www.itsalldutchtome.com.au. They used to have a good selection.

Woolworths sells Dutch salted licorice in the international sections, as well as some others. Aldi used to also, but haven't been there for ages.

The Fyna 1 metre roll licorice is not too bad actually - quite tough as licorice should be (I detest "soft eating" licorice - for Nannas with no teeth :lol:)

[astroturf]

I'll send you a shopping list :lol:

after some research we found Coles in Pyrmont ,Sydney supposedly had a
NZ section but it wasn't the case

[Merlin66]

The Fyna 1 Mtr has less than 1% licorice....
I just checked the "latest" D-L offering..... down to 0.5% licorice!!!

Dutch salted may appeal to some but definitely "not to my palate"
Anyone found Haribo licorice yet???

[LewisM]

eBay...

[Merlin66]

Lewis,
Hmmm
Now try to find some Haribo Wheels or Pontifract cakes at a reasonable postage!
(Just found a possible source in WA: https://www.ukfoodsdownunder.com.au/products/haribo-pontefract-cakes-bags
( the postage brought the price to more than $10 a packet !!!!)

[GrahamL]

Yes went through today they have mostly removed the kiwi section or combined it with the english one and removed most of the content .


I have seen the haribo somewhere ken cant remember where

[Ukastronomer]

YUK

Next someone will say they actually like aniseed :(

[LewisM]

Went to Aldi on a whim - they have HEAPS of Haribo products, just not licorice. They only had that gad-awful fruit flavoured "licorice" and chocolate coated soft gunk made by some forgettable company called Dominion. I did buy some biltong and a mega-jar of jalapenos :)

Big W had nothing decent.

Sambuca - Yummy

Visit Junee and go to https://www.greengroveorganics.com.au/licorice-factory/

They also see a soft organic raspberry licorice which is delightful (nothing like the hard 'fake' red stuff.

You can buy raw or milk, dark or white chocolate coated.

Enjoy!

[LewisM]

Lip numbing goodness :)

I do like aniseed rings and balls.

reminds me - anyone seen the good old red and white humbugs recently? I can't find them in Woolies, but can find "boutique" ones for lots of $$$ in IGA

[Merlin66]

Yeah,
I contacted the guys at Junee they don’t do a “real” high licorice content product.....they compete with the D-L 0.5% molasses flavored product.

[Merlin66]

https://thelicoriceshop.com.au/collections/traditional-black/products/pinwheels-200gm

These seem to compare with the great Gerrit Broadway Wheels I found in US.
- they contain 5% licorice!!!
I've just ordered some to test.

Room service at Echo Point, Katoomba has both. :P

RB
:lol:

[Merlin66]

Andrew,
Obviously stay at the wrong places!, I’m impressed!

[RB]

:lol:

Nah, it's from The Candy Store in Leura. (https://www.yelp.com.au/biz/the-candy-store-leura?adjust_creative=duckduckgo&utm_campaign=yelp_feed&utm_medium=feed_v2&utm_source=duckduckgo)
We stayed up there, hoping to see the snow this week.

After reading your thread, I just had to try both.
I like the Haribo but I love the Black Knight.

Thanks for the headsup.

:thumbsup:

[Merlin66]

Hmmmm
Having problems with that link....
I’ll try Dr Google.....

[RB]

Yeah, it looks like their direct site is down :shrug:
Maybe call them.

[LewisM]

Woolworths own brand is double DL and most others at least

[Wavytone]

Thanks for the link to the shop in Junee ... they have The Right Stuff.

[Merlin66]

Nick,
Can you define “the right stuff”
Licorice content?
