Abstract

The Juanola licorice lozenges first went on sale 100 years ago in a little pharmacy on Montseny Street in the Gràcia neighbourhood of Barcelona. In 1981 the company Farma Lepori bought the rights to this brand of diamond-shaped licorice lozenges and built a modern, automated factory in Sant Quirze del Vallès to produce them in greater numbers. Today, the plant produces 600 million lozenges per year. The ingredients are the same as those used in the original formula, but recently the company decided to package them in a newly-designed tin and sell lemon- and strawberry-flavored lozenges as well.
