Tasting Notes
Toasted fennel seeds provide a hint of chocolate, while cherry and strawberry seductively provide balance and roundness. Big and fruit-forward, it’s great chilled or at room temperature.

Something Curious
It's amazing how different toasted fennel tastes from raw fennel seed. The toasting process triggers the Maillard reaction, transforming sugars and proteins into new compounds (the same happens when browning meat, toast ,or nuts). In the case of fennel, nutty flavors transform into notes of dark chocolate.
