Grilled Portobello Mushrooms & Fennel Pollen
The earthy, smoky flavor and meaty texture of the portobellos combined with the zing of our Fennel Pollen make this an excellent meat substitute or side dish.
A Zing of Flavor
Imagine isolating a fennel seed, making it significantly sweeter and a hundred times more intense to the palate. Taste subtle hints of hay, honey and citrus balanced with zings of freshly ground anise in our Italian fennel pollen seasoning. To the nose, the aroma is musty with deep floral notes. The most potent form of fennel, the pollen gives a sense of terroir to a dish and instantly elevates flavor.
Add a Dash of Extraordinary
Long used in Italian cooking, fennel pollen is golden yellow with rustic green specks of magical flavor. Hand harvested from the Sicani mountains at La Furtuna Estate, organic fennel has hollow stems that bloom small yellow flowers. Pollen is collected from the flowers and tediously dried with a deft touch. Tiny and amber, a gingerly pinch of this fennel pollen spice is all you need to transform an average dish into supreme cuisine.

Wonderful addition to my spice rack
The Bona Fortuna fennel pollen is a unique and flavorful spice that has a sweet, anise-like flavor that is both aromatic and delicate. One of the great things about this fennel pollen is that it is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide range of dishes. It can be used to flavor meats, seafood, vegetables, and even desserts. It pairs well with a variety of ingredients, including citrus, garlic, and olive oils. I like to use this fennel pollen is as a finishing spice, adding it at the end of the cooking process to allow the delicate flavors of this wonderful pollen to really shine through and give my dishes an extra layer of depth and complexity. Overall, Bona Fortuna fennel pollen is a wonderful spice that is worth trying if you enjoy bold and aromatic flavors. Just be sure to use it sparingly, as a little goes a long way.

This fennel spice is highly aromatic and i definitely recommend using it in dishes like pasta fagioli or in preparing a pork roast.

Pork roast is one of our favorite ways to use the Fennel Pollen as well (although we're always discovering new uses for it)! Thanks for the feedback!
