liquorice, the finest in the world. Liquorice is the
root of a weed that needs to be removed before
a plot of land can be cultivated, and is rich in
nutritional and medicinal properties. Pina Amarelli
turned it into a prized ingredient for chefs
worldwide, and became the European leader in
the market for this remarkable plant.
