LorAnn Oils Super Strength Anise Flavoring For Candy Making

The anise is the best for making Italian cookies! There's no comparison, we shopped all over, tried many options. This is the real deal!! The flavors survive the high temperatures from baking. Nothing else compares!

Very strong and tastes very good.

We like to make sesame covered anise cookies, but it is too expensive to buy "anise extract" from the local store. Butter, sugar, flour, an egg, a tad of rum with drops of this oil, dunk in cream and then roll sesame seeds. Out of the oven 20 minutes later and get this wonderful anise aroma. A few drops of this oil stirred into a tablespoon of rum gives a good anise flavor and aroma to our cookies for much less money and total control of the strength. In a strong alcohol as a carrier, very tiny beads form. This oil would work nicely in other liquids that allow it to distribute evenly throughout the recipe. I wouldn't add this stuff directly to any recipe (perhaps to make a disaster it would be okay, ha ha) without dilution. Sometimes I have to laugh when I see expensive bottles of "butter extract" and "rum extract" in the store. Getting some of the main ingredient and then mixing it up as needed gives control, convenience as savings. Although we received our oil in the winter months of the Pacific Northwest, it was not crystalized, however instructions on the package said to warm the bottle at room temperature if needed.

High quality anise. The cookies made with this were absolutely delicious. The bottle is big enough to di nany batches. Product freezes in colder temps but tgat happens with high quality anise oil. Sometimes it needs to be defrosted before use. My house is old and drafty so it might not do that in normal room temperature conditions. The value for the quality was good as well. Best anise for sure.

Great product. I’ve been using this product for years. It only takes a few drops of this LorAnn oil to flavor you cookies or baking items. I always would purchase it from our local pharmacy many years ago. You won’t be disappointed.

I've already rated this item, but again..received yesterday cap was very loose so consequently a good portion of the product leaked out. Evidently there's poor quality control

The bottle was received intact, with seal intact, however the contents were completely crystallized. Update: I did put the bottle in very warm water, as the bottle directions said, and some of the crystallized product did return to liquid form; not all, but some. It must have gotten very cold, somewhere along the fulfillment/delivery process.

Gives my biscotti a wonderful flavor that doesn’t diminish over time.
