About this itemSteve Goins –
Tasts like chenicalsI have purchased this before, and it was excellent. However, not this time. The licorice was the same softness ("freshness") as before but tasted like dish soap (that same "after-taste when a glass hasn't been rinsed well I could smell it when still unopened and inside the unopened bubble-wrap mailing envelope it came in.
I thought at the time that the mailing package must have gotten something on it, but the soapy-smelling odor became stronger as I opened the mailer package, and was stronger, yet, when opening the the actual candy package.
I admit that my olfactory sense is strong and gave the benefit of the doubt and first ate 1 piece, then 3 at a time more for a total of 4 pieces to see If I was nuts, which was ignorant ant stupid. I must have been nuts to tast it at all, much less eating 3cpieces more. I spat out the 3 pieces I tossed in my mouth.
It all had a taste as if dish soap had been lightly lightly drizzled on it. So, I tightly sealed the candy package and threw it in a trash bag, where it still resides in my living room awaiting to be taken out to the trash.
I fortunately did not get sick but felt slightly sick to my stomache. However, I did not vomit. Chances are that the mental thought of it got the best of me.
Obviously, I would be foolish to buy more. The cost is high, but it was really good in the past.
I am not looking for remuneration. Complaining goes against my grain, but I would be remiss not to be informative about the bad taste of this batch of candy.

After almost 70 years of testing this I the best flavor in my world of black licorice= #1This real licorice is the freshest,softest and best flavor,my granny got me hooked on licorice babies 65 yrs. ago so i’ve tried all these years to find the best flavor possible Darrel Lea is at the top of my list and has been for several years now! Every now n then I’ll get a not so fresh bag yet the next one is just fine,us humans have never rotated stock out often enough so I tend to give it a pass,it’s a common problem in all food types.

A large bag of black licorice at a great price.Good deal for licorice lovers. This large bag of black licorice is soft and chewy and a good value. This licorice has a mild licorice flavor, I only wish the licorice flavor was stronger.

Perfectly sweet, soft, and chewyThis is the best licorice brand I've tried. I'm allergic to corn, so anything with high fructose corn syrup or any derivative of corn is avoided. This is free of the aforementioned. It's soft, so it's easy to chew, and the flavor is perfect in my book. I love black licorice, but I know that many people do not share this love. So, if you do, you won't go wrong with this brand. It's always fresh and I've never come across any sticky or melted licorice in these packages, as of yet. I highly recommend this Darrell Lea Australian licorice.
