Caraway oil is born of the seed of a plant originally cultivated in Turkey. Its complex flavor striking bitter, earthy notes contrast sweet tones like licorice and fennel found in anise. Caraway’s versatility is a staple of the fragrance, culinary and medical industries.
In the fragrance industry, caraway’s combination of sweet and sharp notes works with different perfume platforms. Legend has it the scent protects the wearer from theft and keeps their partners from straying.
Caraway is most famous for its presence in rye bread, but that’s one of many culinary uses. Muffins, bagels, French toast, and croutons highlight earthy and sweet tones of caraway. Pies, jellies, and custards also make use of caraway. However, seasoning roasted vegetables or adding caraway to fermented food like sauerkraut adds depth to these dishes. The difference between traditional and Bavarian sauerkraut is the presence of caraway seeds in the Bavarian version.
There are several positive effects caraway has on the body. Caraway promotes healthy digestion by eliminating bloating and smoothing the digestive tract, thus reducing indigestion, gas, and heartburn. Anti-inflammatory qualities are so prominent that caraway compares to steroid-based drugs. Furthermore, caraway naturally reduces carb cravings as a natural weight loss method.

Sourced from more than 700 different species of plants from places like Madagascar, China, and India, black pepper oil is a mainstay in the culinary world and fragrances with a broad list of health benefits.
Creating a baseline for cuisine flavor is the province of black pepper. Pairing with salt, black pepper is a signature component of seasoning. Ground pepper’s spicy, hot nature pairs ideally with salt and prepares the palate for other flavors in every dish. Whether a simple salt and black pepper combination seasons a juicy New York strip or unifies a stir-fry chicken and vegetable dish, black pepper is the first item found in a well-stocked pantry and on every table in a well-dressed restaurant.
Black pepper oil is used in small quantities in fragrancies because of its formidable power. The light musky aroma found in black pepper oil serves as an introduction to complex scents that follow.
There are plenty of health benefits embedded in black pepper oil. Sports injuries such as cramps and strains are relieved thanks to antispasmodic properties in the oil. Blood flow increases, allowing oxygenated blood greater access to afflicted areas. The same properties of an increased flow of oxygenated blood alleviate inflammatory conditions, including arthritis. Black pepper oil is a natural way to ease congestion and sinus inflammation; many people experience near-instant relief from these conditions.

Native to the Eastern Mediterranean, anise flower and seed have many culinary, fragrance, and medicinal uses. Anise is used in many baking recipes but most famously in biscotti. However, the sweet, fennel-like flavor is in pizzelles, sweet anise bread, and pfeffernusse. As oil or extract, anise is also used to flavor a variety of liqueurs. The most famous of these is anisette. Several other flavored liqueurs rely on anise flavor; they include arak, ouzo, sambuca, and pastis. Anise flavor enhances teas and coffees; anise is also in root beer for those who enjoy soda.
In the fragrance industry, anise is a complementary scent. Its sweet notes serve as a counterweight to other aromas, creating a perfectly balanced fragrance.
Anise oil provides essential health benefits. In various forms, anise oil soothes upset stomachs and relieves chest congestion symptoms. As an antispasmodic, anise oil prevents high rates of contraction in blood vessels, nerves, and muscles manifesting as coughs, hiccups, clotting, and other similar afflictions. Other health benefits from stimulating blood circulation include warding off inflammatory effects of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. Anise oil also is used as an antiseptic and helps with wound care.

Peaches are known for their beautiful, sweet flavor, and their health benefits are many. But don’t wait to enjoy them: The fresher and riper the peach, the more antioxidants it contains.
Peaches are thought to have originated in China more than 8,000 years ago, and cultivation later spread westward through Asia and into the Mediterranean region. The Spanish explorers brought peaches to the New World, and cultivation began circa 1600 in what is now Mexico. Peaches today are grown in warmer climates throughout both hemispheres.
Each little peach packs a world of nutrients, including magnesium, phosphorus, iron, antioxidants and vitamins. Peaches help promote healing, aid digestion, reduce allergy symptoms, improve eyesight and protect your body against aging and disease.
Use of peaches is steadily on the rise among master chefs, pastry chefs and mixologists. Craft ales, fizzy cocktails and sweet summer treats are just a few of the wonderfully peach-infused creations that abound. Peaches are also becoming commonplace in beauty and health and wellness products.
Artiste offers quality peach flavors and extracts from around the globe for use in culinary creations, craft spirits, confections and beauty products. Each variety is uniquely special for any product application. Interested in knowing more? Need to know, ask Joe!
