Fennel & Dill Pollen - NEW Products from California

Flavor Pioneers

New Products from Pollen Ranch

Fennel pollen has long been one of our favorite seasonings, especially for oven-roasted porchetta or grilled pork chops. Yet its subtle scent of licorice balanced with notes of citrus and honey is equally magical on seafood.

Hence our excitement to discover Pollen Ranch's "M~Ocean" - a fennel pollen seasoning blend for seafood. Slightly spicy with hints of citrus and highly aromatic bursts of fennel pollen, M~Ocean is an unforgettable combination of seven simple ingredients - hand harvested wild Californian fennel pollen, almond, parsley, orange peel, Fleur de Sel sea salt, black pepper and cayenne.

M~Ocean is the perfect dry rub for shrimp, scallops and white fish such as halibut or striped sea bass. Try marinating steaks of salmon in M~Ocean, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper prior to grilling. We've even sprinkled a bit of M~Ocean in aioli and then served it alongside crab or fish cakes.

We love its versatility beyond a seafood rub. Add astonishing flavor to a simple ricotta cheese filling for ravioli, or a pasta primavera made with fresh spring vegetables. This spice blend brings lively flavor to chowders, cream sauces or even risotto dishes.

For years, we've only known the exquisite Tuscan Fennel Pollen from Antica Drogheria Francioni, prized for its purity and vibrancy. In the United States, Pollen Ranch pioneered the harvesting of Californian wild fennel pollen in 1999, and has become the world's largest producer of pure wild-crafted fennel pollen - and the first to harvest dill pollen.

Dill Pollen from Pollen Ranch

Not your average dill seasoning

If you haven't heard of dill pollen, we're not surprised. Exercising the same expertise in collecting fennel pollen, the people at Pollen Ranch were the first to harvest pollen from dill plants at height of bloom. The result is a highly aromatic seasoning, bursting with freshness - nothing like dried powdered dill found in jars in supermarkets. This is dill in its liveliest form - a little goes a long way.

Use Dill Pollen in any application which calls for powdered dill and notice how it transforms to a brighter version of itself. Revolutionize every day dishes such as egg salad, smoked salmon, or potato salad with just a pinch. Finish a tartare of salmon or halibut with a dusting of dill pollen and a squeeze of lime juice. Brighten up a lemon yogurt dressing for a salad of crab and avocado. Of course Dill Pollen also works as a spectacular rub for seafood and poultry prior to grilling.

Be a pioneer in your own kitchen and use this spectacular new pantry item in exciting new ways.
