Quite unusual - www.enjoygoodies.com - Wild Fennel Pesto 200g

The Sallemi family’s main occupation is producing olive oil and they have been maintaining seriousness, honesty and professionalism since 1873. That is for more than 130 years. But when we first met them at Verona fair, their extra products caught our eyes and when we tried them, heaven. We fell in love also with one product of theirs – Dried tomatoes, but at the beginning of the summer they already ran out of stock which just proves that they produce really delicious goodies.

The autumn came and tomatoes are now in our store!

The wild fennel is a plant that grows between the rocks after the first winter rainfalls. It is harvested by hand when its tender and it is pickled for this reason in brine to keep its unique perfume, sweetness and freshness. The wild fennel in Sicily is known and appreciated for the preparation of the famous “pasta with sardines” typical sicilian plate.

Sallemi family made Pesto with Wild Fennel and they recommend it mostly for seasoning of onion omelette and as ingredient in risotto with herbs and fennel. Our fan Nina suggested Wild fennel pesto on freshly cooked polenta. Great.

We, however suggest that you make dough for homemade pasta and add Wild Fennel pesto to it. Pasta will be very tasty and will go great with both meat and fish sauce. Bon appétit!
