Spice profile

The tasting note.

Sweet, green and faintly aniseed. Fennel seed reads almost cooling next to chilli and pepper, which is why it belongs in sausage, pork and tomato dishes — it keeps a heavy, fatty plate from closing in on itself.

Hillside herbs, slow-dried.

Oregano, thyme and rosemary dried whole-leaf in shade keep their oils. Rubbed between the palms at the pan they smell like the hillside.
