Fennel & salt

Description

These grains of salt are flavoured with fennel seeds and pollen for a delicious aniseed taste, complemented with notes of thyme and oregano and a spicy hint of black pepper and chili.

Uses

Fennel and fish are a perfect match. Add our fennel salt to your fish en papillote or use it as a rub before cooking fillets on the barbecue. Its light aniseed taste can also enhance your salads and vegetable dishes.

Distinctives attributes

Our salt is sourced from the Trapani and Paceco nature reserve in Sicily, an area comprising nearly 1,000 hectares, home to salt flats for many centuries. Today, the salt is still harvested partly by hand, following an ancient method, and crushed using wind energy, thanks to the many windmills still standing.  

Artisan

The De Laurentiis family owns an artisanal business in the Abruzzo mountain region. For two generations, it has been drawing on traditional ingredients and know-how to offer products with an authentically Italian taste. The family grows organic tomatoes, saffron and other seasonings on its own plots of land, and turns them into sauces and condiments thanks to a veritable regiment of cooks who busily tend the ovens.
