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.
