OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Our Anise Essential Oil undergoes steam distillation from the mature brown pods of the white-flowering Pimpinella anisum plant cultivated in Egypt. Historically esteemed for its dual role as both spice and medicinal remedy, Anise seed boasts a rich culinary and therapeutic heritage. Infused with a distinctive sweet, herbaceous, and warmly spicy essence reminiscent of licorice, Anise Oil has been a culinary staple, enhancing everything from confectionery delights to savory curry dishes.

Distinguished from the commonly known Star Anise spice, Pimpinella anisum is an annual herb indigenous to Greece and Egypt, also cultivated in India, China, Mexico, and Spain. Aniseed Oil is frequently interchanged with Star Anise Oil, both deriving their primary therapeutic benefits from trans-anethole. This naturally occurring constituent imparts a recognizable licorice-like aroma akin to fennel, albeit sweeter in profile.
