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.

I use this on EVERYTHING
My whole family is obsessed with the Bona Furtuna Fennel Pollen. We put it on everything from sweets to savories. One of my favorite easy recipes is 100% Bona Furtuna: Tagliatelle Pasta + EVOO + Truffle Salt + Fennel Pollen. That’s it. Nothing more and nothing less. Pure perfection. There is a TON of pasta in one package. Feeds 5 people in my house, including two teenage boys.
