Editorial Review of Cachou Lajaunie Licorice - 5 tins
Cachou Lajaunie are tiny licorice-based candies still made in Toulouse, France, where they were invented by the pharmacist Leon Lajaunie in 1890. Don't let their size fool you: these 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. 5 tins/Net Weight: 6 grams each.

Review Summary: I enjoyed this all my life
Review: I am from France so I have had the privilege of enjoying Cachou Lajaunie all my life. It freshens the mouth, has almost no calories and when I have a craving for a candy bar, one or two of these have saved me from waist-inflating indulgence throughout the years. How convenient to be able to get these on amazon!

Review Summary: Not sweet-tasting candy; it's a breath freshener
Review: This breath mint is hard, like coal, not chewy. Fortunately, it doesn't taste like coal; it tastes like the strongest black licorice you'd ever want and maybe more. I wouldn't have guessed there is any sugar in it at all. It's similar to eating baker's chocolate because it is definitely a strong flavor but not sweet.
Ingredient list, as best as I can translate:
licorice; sugar; starch; aromas [flavors]: powder of catechu [acacia], iris powder, natural mint aroma, mastic tree resin; lactose; dye: E153; coating agents: beeswax, carnauba wax, vegetable oil; vegetable fat; gelatin
I give it four stars because it probably provides what it claims: "an inimitable taste, scents the breath, provides healthy and pleasant freshness" (translation), and it definitely tastes like licorice, but it is probably fair to say it is harsh rather than delicate. I thought I'd throw it away at first. Now I'm on my second container. I've had it for about two years...

Review Summary: Cachou Lajaunie Licorice
Review: YUK! I threw it away. I guess it is an aquired taste. I love black licorice and thought this would be a could way to have it without to many calories.
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Strongest Licorice to be Found
Review: People I've shared this with concur that it is by far the licorice of choice. The strongest licorice flavor in tiny little pieces, packaged in a convenient tin. If you love licorice, this is highly recommended. It isn't cheap, but not overly expensive for the absolute best. Give it a try.
