ennel pollen comes from the small spindly-like flowers of fennel, which is the most potent form of fennel. The pollen has an aroma and flavor of fennel, but with far greater intensity. The pollen is used as a flavoring agent that instantly amps up the taste of food. In certain culinary circles, fennel pollen has garnered much attention as being a secret trendy ingredient. In fact, some equate this delicately flavored gold dust as an incredibly powerful spice with the zing of licorice, honey and citrus and nearly as valuable as gold dust.Wild fennel blended with sea salt adds something extraordinary to cooking. Smell the fresh fennel and immediately you will relax into a sublime state of mind. The aroma is sweet and pungent, smelling intensely of everything that is superb about fennel. Now cook with it, and you will be amazed at how something ordinary can taste extraordinary. A touch of fennel sea salt on fish, pork or vegetables elevates the natural taste into great ones.
Ingredients: Sea salt fleur de sel, Fennel Pollen.
How to use flavored sea salt
With your sweet treats: Salt rounds out flavors not just in savory foods but sweet treats as well, and magnificently! Often balancing an overwhelming sweetness in caramel or the bitterness of dark chocolate, flavored sea salts awaken all the right parts of your dessert in ways that will oh-so-pleasantly surprise.
Over fine fish: If the meek shall inherit the Earth, these are the dishes of the new world: modestly garnished, aptly impactful, and beautiful in their simplicity. Besides being a bright, beautiful finishing salt for your seafood entre, flavored salts reinforce savory, yet subtle flavors. Try a flakey white fish lightly drizzled in a garlic chili sauce and garnished with Lime Fresco or Chili Verde sea salt. Enjoy plump sea scallops gently seared and then garnished with Vintage Merlot or Matcha sea salt.
With bread & cheese, please: To melt your cheese-mongering heart, try a creamy goat cheese, brie, or even just plain whipped cream cheese with our Fusion Sun-Ripened Tomato, Chipotle, or Wild Porcini sea salt; just avoid choosing a cheese that is already heavily salted like a Parmesan, Romano, or Asiago. A soft spreadable pub cheese is nice on a cracker but even better when its finished with Sriracha sea salt. And while the bread is right next to the cheese plate, you may as well sprinkle some Roasted Garlic Sea Salt or Black Truffle Sea Salt in the olive oil. Who needs dinner with this spread?
