Rich in anethole, this ingredient adds a licorice-like scent and taste to baked goods, candy, or beverages. Star anise oil for baking is used to flavor both sweet and savory foods. The taste of licorice is a traditional ingredient in biscotti, springerle, and pizzelle cookies, as well as candy. star anise oil, sometimes called anise star essential oil, is also prevalent in Chinese and Japanese dishes, where it adds a depth of flavor as well as sweetness. This natural food grade essential oil is also used when curing meats such as pepperoni or sausage.
