Anise Oil is a water-white or very pale yellow liquid.
Anise Oil has an intensely sweet and clean odor, truly reminiscent of the crushed fruit, commonly described as having a licorice odor.
The flavor of Anise Oil is sweet, soft and mild, although it is quite rich and powerful in effect.
In perfumes, the oil finds some use as a masking agent for obnoxious odors such as hydrogen sulfide, particularly in cold-wave preparations and depilatories.
Anise Oil is used mainly in flavors and is an important ingredient in the flavoring of licorice candy, cough-drops, baked goods, and pharmaceutical preparations.
True Anise Oil is steam distilled from the dried and crushed fruits of the annual herb, Pimpinella Anisum.
