Bearing the heady fragrance of liquorice, star anise is used in the East as aniseed is in the West. It is one of the ingredients in Chinese five spice, and Chinese stocks and soups very often contain star anise, as do many other traditional Chinese dishes. With a deeper perfume and sweetness than fennel or aniseed, the flavour of star anise pairs exceptionally well with pork and duck. In Europe, star anise is added to fruit compotes and jams, as well as anisette liqueurs.

FAQs

A single origin spice comes from one specific growing region, rather than being combined with other spices into a blend. Because it's not mixed with anything else, you get the true, unaltered flavour of that spice.

A blend (like a Ras El Hanout or Souvlaki Rub) combines multiple spices to create a new, layered flavour. A single origin spice is just one ingredient on its own, which can be used in cooking, to create your own blends, or to season a dish with a distinct flavour.

We source each spice from its authentic land of origin, or from wherever in the world the quality is best. That's why you'll find, for example, Tasmanian Pepperberry, French Lavender and Cinnamon from Sri Lanka in our range, each is chosen because that region grows or produces it best.

Many of our ground single origin spices are milled locally in small batches to lock in freshness, rather than being milled overseas months before reaching Australian shelves. Whole spices are packed as they arrive from origin, so you can grind or use them as needed.
