Description
Anise Oil Spanish is derived from the dried and crushed seeds of the Pimpinella anisum herb, better known as “Anise Star” or “Aniseed.” Anise is native to the Mediterranean, with records of its usage dating back more than 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egyptian texts. In Spain, it is used to flavor countless speciality foods and liquors including anis de chinchón, anís, and anísado. The aroma of Anise Oil is sweet and clean, with an intense licorice note that is highly reminiscent of the crushed seeds. In flavor, the material imparts a soft sweetness that is rich and powerful but not overbearing. Anise Oil is a vital component of countless foods and medicines including licorice, candy, baked goods, cough drops, and other pharmaceuticals.
