 FENNEL PESTO - USES AND CONSUMPTION:

Fennel is an aromatic plant that has been known for thousands of years. According to ancient beliefs, rubbing one's legs with fennel served as an antidote for snake and dog bites. The Romans appreciated it and spread it throughout Europe, where it is still used today for its intense aromatic smell.

 

Its name derives from the term infinocchiare because of the old innkeepers' habit of serving it on the table together with bad wine and meat to cover the unpleasant taste of vinegary wine or inedible meat.

 

Fennel is attributed digestive and depurative properties, among them that of helping to combat meteorism, intestinal bloating, kidney stones and water retention.

 

Fennel is present in Italian gastronomy, especially in central and southern Italy. In particular, it is used to flavour lamb, duck or pork dishes, and is excellent for sausages and pickles.

 

In Sicily, our fennel pesto is used to season pasta, many enjoy it with spaghettoni or busiate, and to flavour fish or meat dishes.
