Wild Fennel Seeds, Marinella

Herbs are a central ingredient in Italian cooking—they add character to sauces and roasts from north to south. Basil is popular in Liguria, Calabria is famous for its oregano, fennel seeds stud the famous finocchiana sausage, and spicy peperoncino is crumbled into penne all’arrabiata, hot salami, and the fiery dishes of the Italian south.
