Real licorice
You can get real licorice in New Zealand, Australia, Germany, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, England, Finland and even Denmark. But not in the US. We use anise oil. Real licorice is found in RJ's and it makes a huge difference. The flavor is akin to dark chocolate and very nice if you are a licorice fan.

Not a Winner
It is odd that my taste buds reported to me the opposite of the reviews here. I'm disappointed by that, as I paid this premium price based on the 5 star reviews.
I'm old enough to remember "old time" licorice that was sold for 1 cent (even 5 for a penny) and that is the flavor and consistancy that I was looking forward to when I purchased this licorice...

Great by itself, plus alternative uses, February 4, 2008
This candy is stupendous (it tastes divine with Coca-Cola, especially) -- but if you really like it, you must try dicing it into smaller pieces (pea-sized), and putting it in your home-made vanilla ice cream. It does not work well with chocolate or strawberry, but a good rich vanilla recipe will really bring out the licorice taste and have you coming back again and again for more. And as far as the Coca-Cola goes... well, try some of your new licorce-bit ice cream in a Coca-Cola float, and you'll think you're in heaven.

Great stuff!, December 16, 2006
This is simply wonderful licorice with an intense, layered flavor. My Dad's a long-time licorice fan and this stuff gives him a big smile -- so he's getting a four-pack for Christmas!
Great texture, great flavor, great price.

Licorice that ROCKS!, January 19, 2008
I love real licorice and this is the best I've ever had. Not rubbery at all--soft and very complex flavors.
Had to ration it or I would have eaten through 4 bags within the week.

Watch out, it's addictive, October 21, 2007
There are a couple of reasons that led me to try this product. I am very interested in wine, and I wanted to understand licorice taste and smell better, since this is present in a lot of reds. Most importantly, I have high cholesterol and I love dark chocolate, and a friend recommended this as an alternative since it is a much healthier option.
I remembered trying the popular licorice candy you can find in grocery stores (i.e Twizzlers) and finding it repugnant. At that time I thought I did not like licorice, but I couldn't have been more wrong. This licorice provides a completely different experience; with a smooth texture and delicious taste, this is as good as eating the best dark chocolate available. I am planning to keep ordering this product for a long time to come.

I'm old enough to remember "old time" licorice that was sold for 1 cent (even 5 for a penny) and that is the flavor and consistancy that I was looking forward to when I purchased this licorice.
I have some anise spice in my cupboard for baking, and I just tasted it to make sure that I didn't have my spices mixed up. Based on that comparison; My verdict is that this licorice tastes strongly of anise (NOT licorice).
I thought it was much too soft. There was no "chew" to it. It was mushy. The only thing I can think to compare it with is a soft cheese, such as Havarti. It is even softer than a mild chedder.
Sorry... only 2 stars from me.

It's absolutely THE best licorice ever, April 28, 2008
I first tried this licorice on a trip to Australia a few years ago, and have looked for it in the states ever since. I only found it in one store, and that was in Berkeley, CA recently. I am so happy to be able to get it from Amazon because apparently it hasn't reached any midwest stores. It is the softest, freshest, and best tasting black licorice (my sister likes the red) I have ever tasted. I can't eat just one. A bag, maybe.

The PERFECT Licorice!, May 31, 2008
I've never had any other brand of licorice that compared to the perfection of RJ's. The solid tubular pieces are thick and of good satisfying size and chew but the flavor of real natural licorice is what makes this so special and addictive! You'll be glad you get four bags but you may want to order eight or twelve!

Superior Licorice, April 5, 2008
RJ's New Zealand Licorice: Soft, perfectly blended in hand batches. True "Old World" licorice. When bought in the 4-pack, price is fairly reasonable. RJ's is one of my "reference" products against which other products are measured. Try it once in your life...or twice...or for the rest of your life!!!
