Which flavours manage to retain their appeal in a market that is constantly evolving?
Amid international trends, emerging ingredients and ongoing experimentation, some classics continue to stand out for their distinctive character and enduring appeal. Liquorice is undoubtedly one of them.
Bold, intense and instantly recognisable, liquorice has long held an important place in Italian gelato shops. A flavour that has stood the test of time and continues to find new ways to express itself in today’s international market.
At a time when consumers are looking for both new experiences and authentic, recognisable flavours, liquorice remains a valuable choice for gelato professionals looking to differentiate their display and create added value. Its appeal extends beyond long-time enthusiasts, reaching consumers who appreciate flavours with a strong and distinctive aromatic profile.
It is from this shared vision that the collaboration between Leagel and Amarelli was born. As one of Italy’s most historic liquorice producers, Amarelli is internationally recognised as a benchmark for premium-quality liquorice.
The project brings together complementary expertise: Amarelli’s know-how in selecting and processing liquorice, combined with Leagel’s extensive application experience in the world of artisanal gelato.
The goal is to provide professionals with practical, high-performance solutions that preserve the authentic flavour profile that makes Amarelli liquorice unique, while simplifying day-to-day production in the laboratory.

The collaboration has led to the development of a range of solutions designed to support gelato professionals from production through to product presentation.
Among the latest additions is the Amarelli Liquorice Topping, a versatile solution that expands the possibilities for decorating, rippling and customising gelato, soft serve and desserts, offering new creative opportunities and strong visual impact in the display case.
Alongside professional ingredients, the project also includes dedicated point-of-sale materials such as flavour sign, window decale and countertop display. Practical tools designed to help gelato makers enhance product visibility and communicate its value effectively to consumers.
The collaboration between Leagel and Amarelli is built on a simple belief: some ingredients never lose their relevance when interpreted with expertise, quality and vision.
Liquorice is one of those flavours that continues to evolve without losing its identity. It is precisely where outstanding raw materials, technical expertise and innovation come together that a great classic finds new opportunities to express its full potential.
