Star Anise
Our organic star anise enchants with its sweet, aromatic fragrance and its distinctive licorice-like note. Made from carefully dried organic star anise fruits and finely ground, it is essential for Vietnamese pho, Chinese five-spice and Asian braises, and just as at home in mulled wine, punch, gingerbread, compote and baked goods. Use sparingly – the aroma is intense.
Why anise belongs in your Christmas baking and your teapot
Anise is the small seed of a Mediterranean plant with a sweet, warm taste that most people know from liquorice. Ground, it is the quiet spice in Christmas cookies, bread and tea, and the flavour behind Ouzo, Sambuca and Pastis.
The quiet spice of the Swabian Christmas
Stamped, dried overnight, baked pale. Anise is the taste of the oldest cookie recipes in the country.
The tea for the evening
Anise, fennel and caraway, the classic German after-dinner tea, is one third anise. Half a teaspoon of ground anise in a cup of hot water does the same job on its own. Anise is also one quarter of Brotgewürz and the base of every anise liqueur from the Mediterranean.
The history of anise
Anise comes from the eastern Mediterranean and Egypt, where it was grown in antiquity. The Romans baked a spiced cake called mustaceum with anise and served it after heavy feasts, which is probably the oldest after-dinner anise there is. Charlemagne ordered it grown on his estates, and from the monasteries it reached the German Christmas bakery.
