Anatoli Anise

A Flavour Journey from Ancient Greece to Modern Cuisine

Dive into the heart of the Mediterranean with the captivating aroma of Anatoli Anise, available now at GreekMarket.co.uk. The history of this enchanting spice dates back to ancient civilisations, where it found its way into both culinary dishes and age-old traditions.

  • Origin: Predominantly growing in the Mediterranean’s eastern regions, Anatoli Anise is a testament to the area’s rich flora and fauna. Its vibrant history weaves tales from the cobbled streets of Rome to the pristine coasts of Greece.
  • Usage: Beyond its role in the kitchen, Anatoli Anise also takes centre stage in famous alcoholic aperitifs. The Greek ouzo and the French pastis both owe their distinct flavour profiles to this aromatic seed.
  • Harvest: Part of the celery family, only the seed of this plant is utilised, hand-harvested during the sun-soaked summer months, ensuring optimal flavour and potency.
  • Historical significance: Tracing its roots back to ancient times, Anatoli Anise has been used in both savoury and sweet delights. The Romans believed hanging a bunch of anise over their bed would keep nightmares at bay, while the Greeks leaned on it to combat sleepless nights. Today, a soothing anise tisane sweetened with honey remains a popular relaxant, transporting many back to simpler times.
  • Flavour Profile: The Greek name ‘glykanisos’, derived from ‘glykos’ meaning sweet, perfectly captures its taste. It marries a gentle sweetness with a slightly sharper undertone reminiscent of fennel.

Incorporate Anatoli Anise into your culinary repertoire and let its rich history and multifaceted flavour transport you to the azure waters and sun-drenched landscapes of the Mediterranean.
