Fennel Oil
Fennel Oil
Cold-Pressed Fennel Seed Oil
Pure fennel seed oil (Foeniculum vulgare), cold-pressed in our own facility in Amman from selected seed. No heat, no solvents, no refining.
A flavouring, not a cooking oil
This is one of our registered food flavourings — used by the drop rather than the spoonful. A few drops carry the character of the whole spice, so it goes into a dish at the end rather than into the pan. One drop typically replaces a spoonful of ground seed.
Pressed, not distilled
Fennel is usually sold as a steam-distilled essential oil — highly concentrated, and never used undiluted. Ours is cold-pressed from the whole seed, so it carries the seed's fatty acids along with its aromatic compounds. That makes it gentler than the distilled version and usable as it comes, though still strong enough that a little goes a long way.
What it's like
Golden, with fennel's unmistakable aroma — sweet, warm, and clearly anise-like, from the anethole that dominates the seed. It is the flavour of Levantine bread and biscuit baking, of Italian sausage, and of the seeds served after a meal across South Asia.
In the kitchen
Add off the heat, or into a mixture before baking.
- Into bread dough, kaak and biscuit mixtures
- With fish and seafood — fennel and fish is a long-standing pairing
- Over roasted vegetables, particularly potatoes and carrots
- In sausage and meat mixtures
- In marinades and dressings
- In sweet preparations, custards and syrups where anise notes suit
- A drop in tea
Start with one drop and taste before adding more.
On skin
Used in massage and skincare preparations, blended into a lighter carrier oil such as apricot kernel or sesame rather than applied alone.
How it's made
Cold-pressed on German machinery without heat or chemical solvents, then filtered and bottled. Unrefined, non-GMO, hexane-free, vegan-friendly. Nothing added.
Produced in an ISO 22000 certified facility and tested by independent third parties. Halal certified. Available in retail bottles, bulk, and private label for food manufacturers and bakeries.
Storage and notes
- Use sparingly. This is far stronger than the ground spice.
- Store in a cool, dark place with the cap closed. The aroma carries — keep away from other stored foods.
- Fennel is traditionally avoided in large amounts during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with a healthcare professional before regular use.
- Patch-test before applying to skin, and dilute in a carrier oil.
- Colour and aroma vary naturally between batches with the season and harvest.

Fennel, A Fragrant Healer Through the Ages!
Fennel isn’t just a flavorful kitchen ingredient, it’s been a trusted remedy for thousands of years! Dating back to ancient Egypt and Greece, fennel was revered for its medicinal and culinary uses.
The Greeks believed it symbolized strength and longevity, and it was even linked to their mythology... legend has it that knowledge was passed from the gods to humans through a fennel stalk! The Romans, on the other hand, used fennel to aid digestion, freshen breath, and even improve eyesight.
In traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, fennel was a go-to treatment for bloating, cramps, and respiratory issues. It was often given to nursing mothers to boost milk production and was even thought to ward off evil spirits in medieval Europe. Sailors and traders carried fennel seeds with them on long journeys to prevent stomach troubles, making it one of history’s most traveled herbs.
Fun Fact:
Did you know that Roman gladiators ate fennel to boost their strength before combat? It was also used as a natural appetite suppressant... monks in the Middle Ages chewed fennel seeds to help them fast for longer periods!
