cachou lajaunie licorice
$2.95
These tiny licorice based candies are still made in Toulouse, southwestern France, where they were invented by the pharmacist Leon Lajaunie in 1890. Don't let their size fool you: these French hard licorice candies are extraordinarily strong, a result of the mint extract which is added to the licorice, and are a powerful breath-freshener.
The trademark small yellow tin was invented by a clock-maker friend of Lajaunie, who designed it to fit in a watch-pocket. Warning: Excessive consumption of licorice can affect blood pressure, IOP (intra ocular pressure), and potassium levels. Cachou Lajaunie hard licorice tablets are imported from France
