McCormick Culinary Pure Anise Extract – 16 oz for Baking, Licorice Flavor

A Subtle, Yet Distinct Licorice Note for Your Kitchen

McCormick Culinary Pure Anise Extract offers a full-bodied, balanced aroma thanks to premium anise oil. The extract is designed with culinary professionals in mind, delivering consistent flavor from batch to batch. The aromatic compound anethole adds warm, slightly sweet licorice notes that pair beautifully with cookies, cakes, and beverages.

With a 16-ounce bottle and an easy-pour spout, you control how much you add, reducing waste and keeping clean countertops. A little goes a long way; just a few drops can elevate simple batters, frostings, sauces, and even coffee.

Versatility is a core strength: it shines in bakery favorites, drinks, and some savory dishes. In classic Italian cookies like biscotti and pizzelles, it enhances aroma and depth. It also complements breads, cakes, and desserts, and can brighten infusions like teas or house-made liqueurs. Across cuisines—Latin American, Mediterranean, and Indian—anise adds warmth and dimension to many dishes.
