Commercial overview

Single-valley origin from Curahuasi, Apurimac - the only commercial-scale source of this variety in Peru. Exceptionally high anethole content produces a clean licorice-type aroma that outperforms standard commodity anise in sensory testing. Export format is whole dried seed with moisture below 10% and foreign matter removed, making it ideal for essential oil extraction, herbal tea blends, and liqueur programs.
