Rinci Pickled Sea Fennel 7oz

Sea fennel, known as “paccasassi” in the local dialect, is an aromatic succulent plant that grows spontaneously in the crevices among sea cliffs in the Mediterranean.

Only the most perfect pickled shoots are selected and placed in jars, one by one, before being left to marinate in mild Puglian extra virgin olive oil for a few months.

The finished product has a crisp, crunchy texture; a fascinating marine flavor, with hints of fennel, lemon, and carrot; and an intense minerality, reminiscent of aromatic wines such as Riesling or Gewürztraminer. Pickled Sea Fennel is easy to use and extremely versatile. Locals enjoy paccasassi in a flatbread panino with mortadella. Use as a garnish for pizza, pasta, seafood dishes, and salumi.
