Product Description
You can rely on Barkley's Aniseed. The delicious pastilles rely on the intense taste of anise, which is sweet and spicy at the same time and is slightly reminiscent of licorice. In the elegant metal box, the sweets are ideal for transporting or offering and are always ready to hand when a delicious moment of refreshment is required.
The metal box is approx. 9.5 × 6 cm in size.
Anise or aniseed has been cultivated for probably 4,000 years, first in Egypt and the Middle East. Later, aniseed was brought to Europe for its medicinal value. In ancient times, anise was so highly prized that it was often used for tithes, offerings and payment of taxes in the Middle East.
The Romans often served spiced aniseed cakes at the close of parties and entertainment to avoid indigestion.
Charlemagne, in the ninth century, commanded that anise be grown on the imperial farms. Centuries later, King Edward IV used to sleep on bed linens that had been perfumed with anise.
Aniseed has a wide range of culinary applications, both sweet and savory. It is also used in confectionery and liqueurs.
Today, BARKLEYS Classic Aniseed combines the richness of this historic spice with the freshness of a mint.
