Our licorice ice cream: a taste that reminds you of home<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are flavors you choose because you want a change and then there are flavors you choose because they take you back in time, without asking your permission.<\/p>\n

For us, licorice is just like that.<\/p>\n

It's one of those flavors that you either love or you don't understand, but if you really love it... just smelling it instantly changes your mood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we opened Leccapaletta, one thing was clear from the very beginning: licorice ice cream had to be there.<\/em>
\nNot necessarily for everyone\u2026 but certainly for us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Licorice: an ancient history, a flavor that never fades<\/h2>\n

Before becoming candy, a stick, a confection, or an ice cream, licorice is a real plant.<\/p>\n

Licorice grows modestly, from the earth, but has a huge personality. It's one of those flavors that needs no introduction: you can recognize it with your eyes closed.<\/p>\n

For a long time it was also used for practical, everyday purposes such as infusions and extracts: it was a concrete thing, to be kept there, as people do when something \u201cworks\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is also why we like it so much today: because it has a long, true history, made up of habits and small rituals.<\/p>\n

Licorice ice cream: the hard part is getting it right.<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Making licorice ice cream seems simple\u2026until you actually do it.<\/p>\n

Licorice is powerful: if you push it too hard, it becomes heavy, but if you treat it timidly, it disappears.<\/p>\n

Balance is needed:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • it should be intense, but not tiring<\/li>\n
  • it must be creamy, but with character<\/li>\n
  • It should leave real licorice in the mouth, not a \"fake\" or flat flavor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Who do we recommend it to?<\/h2>\n

    If you're a licorice fan, you already know: this is a flavor that makes you smile as soon as you taste it.<\/p>\n

    If you're not sure, try it without prejudice, because often those who say \"I don't like licorice\" have never actually tried it made well.<\/p>\n

    When you hear it, everything changes and then something beautiful happens: there are those who come back and say \"I didn't think so, but now I always take it\".<\/p>\n

    Why is it a taste of the heart for Roberta?<\/h2>\n

    In an ice cream shop, flavors aren't just flavors, they're choices, they tell a story.<\/p>\n

    Licorice, says Roberta, is because if a flavor has been with you since you were little, it means it's not just a preference, but a part of you.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Leccapaletta is exactly this: in the window you find only what we make, inside there must be a real story and certain things, when they are true, you taste them at first taste.<\/p>\n

    If you pass by Leccapaletta, ask for the licorice ice cream.
    \nIt's not just a taste, it's a piece of home in a tub.<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
