Spice Description

Star Anise is a fragrant spice native to the Chinese evergreens, it boasts a strong, sweet, dense liquorice flavour. Star Anise is the unusual fruit of a small oriental tree. It is, as the name suggests, star shaped, radiating between five and ten pointed boat-shaped sections, about eight on average. These hard sections are seed pods, tough skinned and rust coloured. The fruit is picked before it can ripen, and dried.

Bouquet

Powerful and Liquorice-like, more Pungent and Stronger than Anise.

Flavour

Evocative of a bitter Aniseed, of which flavour Star Anise is a harsher version.

Verdict

Indulge yourself in the pure eastern exotic excellence of Star Anise Luxury Dairy Ice Cream.
