Nature has bestowed upon licorice its best qualities; in fact, the active ingredients and the sweet, pleasant flavor of its root have been known since ancient times. It is known to clear the throat, purify breath and throat, and have expectorant, emollient, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-caries properties. It is also present in various aphrodisiac recipes and in the Kama Sutra. It was used by ancient alchemists in medicinal potions. Today, it is universally appreciated as a natural and healthy candy, and even has its own spirit: Liquorice. Distilleria Caffo was the first company to produce a "pure Calabrian licorice liqueur," creating a unique and inimitable product. For this reason, today only Liquorice Caffo is "The original pure Calabrian licorice liqueur."
To produce the licorice juice needed for one liter of Liquorice Caffo, a minimum of 400 grams of Calabrian DOP licorice root is used. The natural extraction takes place in Calabria at the Liquirizia Caffo plant, following an exclusive hot infusion recipe in water, without the use of other solvents.
