The finest star anise comes from China and Vietnam, where the climate and soil produce the highest concentration of natural oils, giving the spice its intense aroma and rich, sweet-licorice flavour. Used for centuries in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine, it’s a cornerstone in traditional five-spice blends, braises, and festive baking a little truly transforms a dish.

Star anise is a striking, star-shaped spice celebrated in Chinese cooking for its warm, sweet, and aromatic flavour. With notes reminiscent of liquorice, clove, and aniseed, it adds depth and complexity to teas, soups, stir-fries, and curries. Ground star anise is also a key component in Chinese five-spice powder, bringing its distinctive, fragrant warmth to marinades, sauces, and slow-cooked dishes. Its bold aroma and unique shape make it as visually appealing as it is flavourful, perfect for home cooks looking to add authentic Asian flavours to everyday meals.
