Introducing Licorice by Le Creuset

Inspired by flavourful european classics like espresso and truffles, this sophisticated matte black object d’art is now simmering in some of the world’s finest kitchens.

The new Licorice hue, by Le Creuset, joins the ranks of the world’s colour and quality benchmark. Cast individually in sand molds, then hand-inspected by French artisans, each cast iron piece features a rich heritage design, as well as ergonomic handles and knobs.

Ideal in the oven, on the stove or at the table, the iconic cookware is beloved for both its chip-resistant enamel exterior and superior heat retention that locks in flavour and keeps foods moist and tender.
