Anis de Flavigny

These candies are traditionally produced in Flavigny from a recipe dating back to 1591. Anise seeds are first placed in a pan and coated with a combination of sugar and water, and then the pans are rotated, making the candies smooth. It takes about 15 days to transform a small seed into a candy that weighs one gram.

The candies come in ten natural flavors – anise, blackcurrant, lemon, ginger, tangerine, mint, orange blossom, liquorice, violet, and rose. Regardless of the flavor, the finished candy is always called Anis de Flavigny.
