McCormick Pure Anise Extract 16oz (1 Pint) 0.47L - FAQ

Q: What is McCormick Pure Anise Extract?
A: McCormick Pure Anise Extract is a liquid flavoring derived from anise seed, designed to impart a subtle licorice / anise (sweet-licorice) overtone to baked goods, confections, beverages, and other culinary applications.
Q: What is the package size and net volume?
A: 
  • The professional chef version sold by us at SpicePlace.com is labelled as 16 oz (1 pint or 0.47 L).
  • This is considered a bulk / foodservice size for professional or heavy use.
Q: What are the ingredients / formulation?
A: 
  • Ingredients: Alcohol (about 68 %), Water, and Oil of Anise.
  • Because it is a "pure" extract, made from anise seed, no artificial flavors or sweeteners are listed.
Q: What flavor profile / aroma should it contribute?
A: 
  • Delivers a sweet-licorice (anise-like) note, suitable in small amounts to highlight subtle anise character without overpowering.
  • Because of its alcohol base and essential oil content, it is relatively potent compared to e.g. using whole seeds.
Q: Why do extracts use alcohol instead of water?
A: Alcohol is the best carrier for flavor. It dissolves the natural oils from spices and peels, blends smoothly into water-based recipes, and helps the flavor spread evenly in batters, icings, and drinks. Alcohol also preserves the extract so it stays fresh and safe for years. Without it, extracts would not mix as well or last as long. Besides, the amount is small, and when you bake or heat with it, alcohol's low boiling point (about 170° F) means most of it cooks off, leaving only the flavor.
Q: How much should one use / conversion guideline?
A: 
  • McCormick indicates that 1/2 teaspoon of extract = 1 tablespoon of anise liqueur in equivalence (i.e. for flavor substitution) in some applications.
  • Because of its strength, start with small amounts, taste, and adjust upward only as needed.
Q: What are common culinary uses / recipes?
A: 
  • Italian biscotti and various anise cookies (a commonly cited use in the product listing).
    • Flavoring in pastries, cakes, or confections where a licorice / anise nuance is desired. In creams, glazes, frostings, or sweet sauces.
  • In "linguine florentine" style sauce (as shown in the listing) and other savory-sweet combinations.
Q: Are there any handling, storage, or shipping considerations?
A: 
  • The product must ship via ground transportation (UPS Ground or USPS Parcel Post), because of its alcohol content.
  • Store in cool, dark, dry conditions, and keep the container tightly sealed to preserve aromatic oils and prevent evaporation or degradation.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or light, which may degrade flavor.
Q: What cautions or usage tips should users follow?
A: 
  • Because of its high potency, it is safer to add gradually, tasting as one goes.
  • Use dry or clean utensils (i.e. avoid contamination with water).
  • Be mindful of alcohol content if the extract is used in recipes for persons avoiding alcohol (though in most baking, much of the alcohol tends to bake off).
