I remember Les Anis de Flavigny candies from growing up and it’s great to know they are still being made by Catherine Troubat and her 25 member team in France. For 15 days each green aniseed is patiently layered with liquid sugar and natural falvors..
They come in anise, orange, mint, liquorice, rose, and my favorite above violet! Do not bite! A bientot!
