Pure Anise Oil is derived from star anise, a star-shaped fruit. It grows on an evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia. This essential oil smells and tastes like licorice. Anise is a key ingredient in Chinese and Japanese cooking. It'ss also used in cured meats like pepperoni. On the sweet side, anise is found in biscotti, springerle, pizzelle, and candies. NOTE: Pure Anise Oil solidifies at temperatures below 59 degrees F. If this happens, warm the anise oil until it is liquefied and shake. Pure Anise Oil is a potent ingredient and much stronger than an extract. Use sparingly. We recommend that gloves and eye protection be used when handling essential oils.
