No [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] without sweetwood. [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] is a natural plant product made from the [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] plant, sweetwood. Glycyrrhiza glabra is the botanical name of the [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] plant. In Greek, glykys = sweet and rhiza = root. The [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] bush grows as tall as a man, has small green leaves and purple flowers - this part of the plant above remains unused, see illustration.

For [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] [---6a62c2d431fee---[Production]---6a62c2d431fee---], only the taproots of the plant are of interest, which penetrate vertically up to 4m deep and branch out, making harvesting difficult. It can be harvested for the first time after the 4th year. The [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] plant prefers plus temperatures in winter and has spread to southern Italy, Turkey, Syria and Iran. It also grows wild there.

There is an anecdote that the Amarelli family, who lives in Rossano Calabria for centuries, only started producing [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] because it became too expensive and time-consuming for them to have this wild weed pulled from their land. They investigated the ‘weed’ and instead of pursuing the desired cultivation of citrus fruits, Amarelli has been cooking [---6a62c2d431fee---[Pane Liquirizia]---6a62c2d431fee---], or [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice bread]---6a62c2d431fee---], since 1731. The ratio is approximately 10:1. This means that ten parts sweetwood are needed for one part pure natural [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---].

The [---6a62c2d431fee---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d431fee---] loaves are used in the pharmaceutical, perfumery, tobacco and confectionery industries. The latter will be our focus here.

Be honest... they all taste the same, right? ... Of course not! In our nearly 30-year company history, this question has been asked not so rarely. However, our customers can choose from around 600 different types of [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---]! Freshly sourced from the [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---]-loving countries of Europe. We want to showcase this diversity at kadó. That's why kadó founded Germany's first specialist [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] shop in 1997 and has also been running an online shop at www.kado.de since 1998!

Until then, [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] was only available from the German company Haribo and sometimes from Katjes at kiosks and in some supermarkets. That was it. For spicy [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---], such as salmiak pastilles, you had to go to the pharmacy. That was the situation until 1997. The above question probably comes from this context, as the domestic supply was limited to these two [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] companies and shaped the taste of Germans. "Haribo macht Kinder froh und Erwachsene ebenso". Haribo is a word creation by Hans Riegel from Bonn. Popular for its gummy bears, [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] wheels, which have shaped our country, were added in 1925.

Technically speaking, the taste, [---6a62c2d432801---[Consistency]---6a62c2d432801---] and shape of a [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] recipe are achieved through the cooking process, i.e. using specially designed machinery. Should the [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] be very soft and smooth, sprinkled with sugar? Or a roll with a filling or coating? Should it be coated or remain black and chewy? Should it be rolled, twisted, punched, moulded, cut... depending on this, the appropriate process technology is purchased. The quality of the [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] is reflected in the ingredients and the flavouring used. [---6a62c2d432801---[Natural flavour]---6a62c2d432801---]ings are expensive because naturally limited quantities determine the price.

[---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] companies choose their technical processes and develop recipes with their own individual [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] [---6a62c2d432801---[Flavour]---6a62c2d432801---], which sets them apart from the competition in the [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] market. kadó sources [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] directly from manufacturers in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, France and Spain! This showcases the culinary diversity of Europe, which is also reflected in [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---]. If you want to taste the north-south contrast in [---6a62c2d432801---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d432801---] preferences, we recommend the scandinavian and sweet-tart mixes.

In the United Kingdom, the content of commercially available [---6a62c2d4333f0---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4333f0---] is predominantly below 0.1 g/100 g. If the [---6a62c2d4333f0---[Glycyrrhizin]---6a62c2d4333f0---] content exceeds 0.2 g/100 g, the [---6a62c2d4333f0---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4333f0---] products are labelled as ‘strong [---6a62c2d4333f0---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4333f0---]’.

In the 15th century, sweetwood was grown in Bamberg, Germany, and was an important industry for the town. The Bamberg Sweet Wood Society, founded in 2010, remembers its roots and is growing [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice roots]---6a62c2d433adf---] again on a small scale.

Sweetroot grows more abundantly in the Mediterranean region and in Central Asia. The use of [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice roots]---6a62c2d433adf---] is closely linked to the cultural history of mankind, as sources from early times show. In Egypt, [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice roots]---6a62c2d433adf---] were used as a burial gift to quench hunger and thirst on the last journey. Generals also used the root for this purpose on long marches. A lot has been brewed in medicinal and herbal cuisine in every era. However, sweetwood crystallised as an integral part of the "medicine chest" due to its positive effect on the throat and stomach. This is still true today.

[---6a62c2d433adf---[Licorice root]---6a62c2d433adf---] is known throughout the world as a medicinal herb. But licorice? Licorice as a sweet is a European phenomenon. [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice root]---6a62c2d433adf---] grows in southern Europe, but [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] is most popular in northern Europe. No [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] recipe is impossible: mild, tart, salty, with salmiak, as a drink, finely ground for cooking and baking, as a sauce over ice cream? What [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] snails are in Germany, [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] bars are in Scandinavia, often with a fruity or salty filling.
The [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice equator]---6a62c2d433adf---] runs through Germany, dividing the preference for [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] into north (yes!) and south (not necessary). We are home to the global player Haribo. Founded in 1920 and initially specialising in gold gummy bears, Hans Riegel from Bonn soon invented the [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] snail, thereby shaping the taste for [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] in this country. Together with southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there is a [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---]-free white spot, because [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] is hardly liked in these regions – could it possibly be [---6a62c2d433adf---[Bear droppings]---6a62c2d433adf---]?
Behind the Alps, [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] continues to thrive. The root grows in Italy, France and Spain, and [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] can also be found in food and drinks, chutneys and jams. A real enrichment, as our research trips have shown. At kadó, we show that [---6a62c2d433adf---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d433adf---] tastes different in each of these countries and reflects the respective cultural preferences.

The ‘dubble zoute dropjes’, double-salted [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---], come to kadó from the Netherlands. Twice salted [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---]. That is and was a house number in itself, which is why the ‘DZ’ became a brand. Until the European Food Regulation applied to all EU member states, they were a stoopid product in Germany. Since 2001, the salt content has been limited to a maximum of 7.99% throughout the EU and the most famous Dutch [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---] variety has spread to all corners of Europe, where [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---] is also eaten with a strong saltiness. Just how popular this type of [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---] is in the Netherlands is shown by the fact that we have nine different DZ varieties in our range. The DZ mix from kadó contains them all, with the warning ‘Extra strong [---6a62c2d43611d---[Adult liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---] - no children's [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---]’. That's right. So please take your time and enjoy the bag of these lekker dropjes...

‘Drop’ = [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---] in Dutch. Unlike everywhere else in Europe, the Dutch word for [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---] does not derive from ‘liquirizia’, but from the English word for “drop”. When making [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---], ‘a drop’ of [---6a62c2d43611d---[Gum arabic]---6a62c2d43611d---] was added to make the sweets slightly softer. The name ‘dropjes’ generally stuck as the term for [---6a62c2d43611d---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43611d---].

Salmiak (ammonium chloride) is a rock salt. It is industrially produced for the food industry, a white sour-salty tasting fine granulate. A maximum of 7.99 percent salt is permitted in the recipe, this must be labelled as "Extra strong adult liquorice - not children's liquorice".How did [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] become a sweet?

[---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice as medicine]---6a62c2d4368aa---]

The development of the hard, bitter [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] pastilles from medicine to sweet is linked to the spread of sugar. Honey was the predominant [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Sweetener]---6a62c2d4368aa---], alongside sugar cane. The Persians invented the art of boiling sugar, and Venice rose to become the trading metropolis of ‘white’ gold. Sugar changed cultural diets. Sour foods were candied, e.g. fruit, bitter medicines were sweetened, even [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---]. With the discovery of sugar extraction from the local beetroot by Marggraf in Berlin in 1747, sugar became affordable. This made it possible to make your own [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] recipes, which not everyone had.

[---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice as a sweet]---6a62c2d4368aa---] or savoury treat

Research in England shows how and when [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] changed from a medicine to a popular sweet. In the Middle Ages, [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] farmers lived with their families around Pontefract Castle. Until 1760, [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] and pure [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice root]---6a62c2d4368aa---] were only used as medicine for humans and horses.

The first recorded [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] confectionery can be traced back to the pharmacist George Dunhill in Pontefract (Yorkshire). He grew [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] himself and added flour and cane sugar to the thickened [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] juice. This made it possible to create a digestible, soft [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] recipe, which even had its own brand name: ‘[---6a62c2d4368aa---[Pontefract Cake]---6a62c2d4368aa---]s’. The development from medicinal ‘pharmacist's [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---]’ to delicious black and colourful sweets can therefore be traced back to Dunhill in England. At the same time, the first product brand was created: [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Pontefract Cake]---6a62c2d4368aa---]s.

Even Hollywood ordered [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---], requesting a unique piece in a rather unusual [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] shape. For a scene from the film ‘Goldrush’ (1925) with Charlie Chaplin. Do you remember how he ended up freezing and hungry, cooking and eating his own shoe? A shoe made of [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] made the scene possible.

Making [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] is a craft

Generational businesses have become rare, but kadó tracks them down. Precisely because they still use their traditional craft to produce high-quality [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] with a wide variety of flavours. Industrial [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Production]---6a62c2d4368aa---] shapes the broad [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Flavour]---6a62c2d4368aa---], which varies culturally from country to country. While the [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] snail is the predominant [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Flavour]---6a62c2d4368aa---] in Germany, in Holland it is the DZ double-salted [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---]. And it is precisely this range of [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] variety that we want to showcase at kadó and put together our [---6a62c2d4368aa---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d4368aa---] mixes by hand according to theme.

Glucose syrup

Glucose is a simple sugar, or grape sugar. Glucose syrup is obtained from corn or wheat starch. Glucose syrup has a lower sweetness than sugar and blends well with other ingredients. It is suitable for use as a [---6a62c2d43753e---[Consistency]---6a62c2d43753e---] agent in beverages and ice cream, confectionery, jams, baked goods, dairy products and in the [---6a62c2d43753e---[Production]---6a62c2d43753e---] of [---6a62c2d43753e---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43753e---].

[---6a62c2d43753e---[Gum arabic]---6a62c2d43753e---] is the resinous sap of some acacia tree species and is therefore a vegetable [---6a62c2d43753e---[Gelling agent]---6a62c2d43753e---]. The resin from Sudan is often used in the manufacture of confectionery. To obtain the resin, the trunk of the acacia tree is cut open, the resin is removed, purified and processed for use in the food and confectionery industry. [---6a62c2d43753e---[Gum arabic]---6a62c2d43753e---] is a natural product and an ingredient that has its price because - depending on the annual harvest - it is not available in unlimited quantities.

Gelatine

Gelatine is a high-quality, low-calorie and low-fat protein, free from cholesterol and sugar. Gelatine has hardly any allergenic potential and contains 18 amino acids, 9 of which are essential. Due to its good gelling properties, it is used in the food and confectionery industry, in tablet [---6a62c2d43753e---[Production]---6a62c2d43753e---] and in the photographic paper industry. Gelatine consists mainly of pork rinds and bones, which come from registered slaughterhouses and are cooked and cleaned several times at high temperatures during the [---6a62c2d43753e---[Production]---6a62c2d43753e---] process.

If the proportion of ammonia salt in [---6a62c2d43753e---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43753e---] is between 2 and 4.49%, [---6a62c2d43753e---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43753e---] must be labelled as ‘[---6a62c2d43753e---[Adult liquorice]---6a62c2d43753e---] - not suitable for children’ and ‘extra strong, [---6a62c2d43753e---[Adult liquorice]---6a62c2d43753e---] - not suitable for children’ applies to a salt content of 4.49 to 7.99% in [---6a62c2d43753e---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43753e---]. A high consumption of salt and/or [---6a62c2d43753e---[Ammonium chloride]---6a62c2d43753e---] is not recommended, not only for children.

Carnauba wax

Carnauba wax is scraped from the leaves of the carnauba palm (Copernicia prunifera), which grows in Brazil, then melted and purified. It is mainly used in the food and cosmetics industries, in medicines and as an ingredient in car waxes and polishes. (Source: Wikipedia)

When cooking [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---], the challenge is to add another [---6a62c2d438a61---[Flavour]---6a62c2d438a61---] to the strong inherent taste of pure [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---] ([---6a62c2d438a61---[Pane Liquirizia]---6a62c2d438a61---]) and to achieve a pleasant [---6a62c2d438a61---[Consistency]---6a62c2d438a61---]. In addition to the ingredients, this requires a precise interplay of temperature and time. Today, the confectioner's craft can be found in pastry-making or in food technology.

We show how [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---] is made using the example of our ginger [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---] (photo gallery Ginger [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---] [---6a62c2d438a61---[Production]---6a62c2d438a61---]). This recipe was commissioned by kadó and developed in the food laboratory. A 5 kg base was cooked and various ginger flavours were added in portions. The ginger macerate brought in by kadó from PSM (Preußische Sprituosenmanufaktur) gave the [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---] the most delicious ginger note and has been used for our ginger [---6a62c2d438a61---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d438a61---] ever since.

Salmiak [---6a62c2d439325---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d439325---] is a special form of [---6a62c2d439325---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d439325---] that is very popular in various regions, particularly in Scandinavia, northern Germany and the Netherlands. It is characterised by the addition of [---6a62c2d439325---[Ammonium chloride]---6a62c2d439325---] (salmiak), which gives the sweet its characteristic taste. It is being considered whether the ammonia [---6a62c2d439325---[Flavour]---6a62c2d439325---] could be recognised as a sixth basic [---6a62c2d439325---[Flavour]---6a62c2d439325---] alongside sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami.

In the 15th century, sweetwood ([---6a62c2d439830---[Licorice root]---6a62c2d439830---]s) was cultivated in Bamberg in Franconia and was an important economic sector for the town. Vegetable gardening has been practised in the centre of the cathedral city since the Middle Ages. Even back then, Bamberg's gardeners exported their produce - onion sets, seeds, but above all [---6a62c2d439830---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d439830---] - far beyond the city's borders. In addition to honey, sweetwood enriched the [---6a62c2d439830---[Flavour]---6a62c2d439830---] of sweet dishes. It was grown on a large scale all around Bamberg, see Zweidler's 1602 city map. Aspiring master gardeners had to be able to dig up a [---6a62c2d439830---[Liquorice root]---6a62c2d439830---] undamaged in order to pass the master craftsman's examination.
In the 20th century, other sweeteners, confectionery and cheaper imported sweetwood from Italy became increasingly available, so [---6a62c2d439830---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d439830---] cultivation in Bamberg fell into a slumber.

With their typical houses and long, narrow gardens for growing vegetables, marjoram and sweetwood, the gardeners have shaped the townscape. Bamberg has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993.
With the founding of the Bamberg [---6a62c2d439830---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d439830---] Society in 2010, the town is once again remembering its roots and history and growing [---6a62c2d439830---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d439830---] again on a small scale.

Nowadays, sweet-talking has a negative connotation in the sense of flattering someone in order to get something. You suck up to someone on purpose. The pejorative connotation of sweet-talking is still in use today.

Salmiak (ammonium chloride) is a rock salt. It is industrially produced for the food industry, a white sour-salty tasting fine granulate. A maximum of 7.99 percent salt is permitted in the recipe, this must be labelled as "Extra strong adult liquorice - not children's liquorice".Packaging at kadó

kadó is also thinking about more sustainable reusability. This is not easy when it comes to food. Plastic packaging has become a problem because it is so durable but is only used once and then thrown away. They also need to end up in the right bin to get back into the raw material cycle. kadó is registered in the packaging register with its sales and service packaging, because ‘throughout Europe, the manufacturer (as well as wholesalers and retailers) of a product also assumes product responsibility for the packaging in terms of avoidance, reuse and recycling’. That is the goal!

We package our loose [---6a62c2d43ac8b---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43ac8b---] in transparent cellulose bags. Even these Berlin cinemas with kadó [---6a62c2d43ac8b---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43ac8b---] at the counter have switched to plastic-free cellulose bags. Cellulose is easily recyclable and even compostable! However, moisture can diffuse more easily, causing the [---6a62c2d43ac8b---[Liquorice]---6a62c2d43ac8b---] to dry out. So: consume quickly, for example on a cinema night. Or transfer to a candy jar with a lid.
Cellulose is our alternative to petroleum-based cellophane bags.

What is cellulose?

Cellulose is produced from wood | wood residues, i.e. from a renewable raw material. The wood pulp (cellulose) is dissolved in caustic soda (NaOH) and carbon disulphide (CS2). This produces pure, transparent cellulose, which is mixed with glycerine. The cellulose bags can be composted in the home compost with the necessary time. For quick disposal in the city, please use the -still- yellow bin so that they enter the waste cycle in an environmentally friendly way.

Whether plastic or renewable raw material, both have their pros and cons. One thing is certain: the search for the best possible environmentally friendly packaging will be with us in the future.
