Anis de Flavigny Cassis Pastilles Candy in Tin

In the heart of the Benedictine Abbey in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, in the Burgundy region of France, this tasty little treat has been made since 1591 according to the same recipe as it always has been. The core of the candy is a green anise seed (Pimpinella Anisum), coated in sugar syrup, with natural flavorings added for various flavors like rose, violet, lemon, orange blossom, and blackcurrant. To this day, the candies are made using a traditional artisanal process, with anise seeds coated in sugar syrup for 15 days, resulting in a smooth, pearl-like candy.
