In the lush and beautiful valleys of Vietnam's Lạng Sơn province – where misty mornings gently wrap around the mountains and hills – Lạng Sơn star anise grows. This aromatic spice embodies the essence of Vietnamese culinary culture and tradition. Known for its star-shaped form – and looking beautiful both in the kitchen and on the dining table – this unique spice is prized for its strong, sweet and spicy aroma as well as its deep, licorice-like flavour; it brings a truly special, almost magical dimension to many dishes.
The history of star anise in Vietnam is as long as the country's cultural history; it has been used for centuries not only to season meat, broths and beverages, but also in traditional medicine to aid digestion and relieve ailments.
