FENNEL
How do you like your Fennel oil? Bitter, sweet, or a bit of both – we can do it!
Indigenous to the Mediterranean region, we have cultivated Fennel in Tasmania since the 1980s to produce a diversified range of oils and extracts. We are now one of the largest producers of Fennel oils in the world.
Harvested from late February to mid-May, our stocks of Fennel are typically available all year round.
Our Fennel oil is produced through steam distillation of the immature Fennel seeds. Oils are then typically refined to one of the following standard grades – Bitter Fennel; 70% Fenchone; or Sweet Fennel. These range from a stronger and more bitter taste you might associate with mouthwash (a more fenchone-heavy composition) to a sweeter aniseed flavour, which means the oil is more anethole based.
We can also refine our Fennel oil to customer specification.
