I've purchased from St. Valentines intermittently over a long period of time. Over the years, I’ve tried innumerable other liquorices, but none of them measure up to the quality and enjoyment of eating St V’s Italian Twist.

Thank you, Martin, we appreciate your expert liquorice taster knowledge!

I love everything about this liquorice, especially finding flavours I'd never thought of. I shall miss buying at Lincoln Christmas Market this year, but the online ordering is so simple and the delivery times are excellent so I haven't missed out! Please keep going!!!

Hi Pat, thank you for sharing your thoughts, your very kind. We've no intention stopping. Thanks Erling.

I love the fondant filled liquorice and the candy sticks and usually visit the shows on the Isle of Wight to stock up. During Lockdown I have had to buy online but it is an easy process and I can place more orders than the number of shows I'd attend!!

Thank you Carole for your kind words. We'll look forward to seeing you again next year.

When I couldn't see my family and friends during lockdown, I wanted to send them a treat to let them know that I was thinking about them and missing them loads.
What better treat than our shared love of liquorice - and where better to get it from than St Valentines!
I ordered some for a good friend as well as some for my Dad ... so I had to have some for myself too.
I'm loving the new caramel flavour - we've run out already .... I feel another order coming on ...

Dear Karen, thank you for thinking of your loved ones and us, we're delighted to be here to keep you all supplied. Here's to betters times ahead.

I found this liquorice at the Gift fair at the NEC years ago and have loved it ever since!

Hi Lucy, we appreciate your kind words and love your passion for it. Thank you.

My grandmother lives on the IOW and for years in my childhood, we would visit her for Cowes Week. My fondest memories aren’t of the boats but of the liquorice we used to buy on the esplanade! Recently stumbled across your business and made the connection! Had to buy some for memories sake! Amazing liquorice and a lovely family business, resulting in lots of happy memories and happy tummy’s!

Hi Katie, thank you for sharing your story. We're delighted to be part of it.

I've bought St Valentine's Liquorice for years from various shows that I've been to. During lockdown I really fancied a sweet treat and remembered how amazing the liquorice from this company was. I introduced my partner to it and neither of us were disappointed. Buying again.

Hi Jill, ah thank you for thinking about us and your kind words. We're pleased to have you on board. Take care.

Since I was a little girl, I have always loved black liquorice. My sister went to an ideal home exhibition over 20 years ago, bought me some liquorice from St Valentines Liquorice Company and I’ve been buying it from them ever since. Love it!

Ah, this is a lovely story. Thank you for sharing Emma, we're glad you still love it.

There are times at a festival when you want something to chew over, to curb that craving, but not a curry, dosa or burrito - something with intense flavour. So I found myself inexplicably drawn to the Saint Valentine's stall though I knew I didn't want a fruit-flavoured stick, no I was looking for something with a more intense flavour (think Moroocan black olives compared to the high street bland variety). Luckily the staff member could sense my need and offered me a lozenge-shaped pieces of liquorice with a hint of salt as a taster. Oh yes! That hit the spot, so much so that I bought two scoops to sustain me over the festival (insurance in case they sold out). Now desperate for me but I can't see them in the shop.........oh woe is me!

Dear Simon, thank you for your kind words. We got that liquorice you loved, for the first time at the End of The Road. We intend to sell it in our shop because, as you say, it has just got the right stuff.
Soon we promise.

Made this discovery at End of the Road festival. Could not stop buying more and more - feel like I have stockpiled for Brexit! I bought every flavour ( I think!). I really like the honey flavour and the chocolate sweets with liquorice inside. I have managed to completely convince myself it is good for me and I have no guilt whatsoever as I am trying to stop buying stuff ( I have hoarding problems) and am keen to buy consumable goods wherever I can to avoid more clutter in the home. Really helpful, friendly team. Absolutely delicious.

Alison, thank you for your delightful review. Where would we be without customers like you. Thank you.
