Anise | Flavor West (20/50/100/250/500ml)

Flavor West is a US-based manufacturer of water-soluble food flavorings used in both DIY mixing and culinary applications. Anise delivers a clear, aromatic anise profile with characteristic licorice-like sweetness and herbal depth. The flavor is bold, authentic and instantly recognizable, making it suitable where anise needs to be clearly present.

This is a highly concentrated aroma intended for dilution. It is commonly used for DIY flavor mixing, but can also be applied in very small amounts for flavoring baked goods, confectionery, desserts and beverages such as syrups or drink bases. Flavor West concentrates are water-soluble and PG-based. Note: We purchase in bulk and rebottle into smaller bottles (not original manufacturer packaging).
