Seeds and Spices

Guide to Seeds, spices and aromatic ingredients: how to use it properly

These products are useful because they bring Mediterranean flavour to the table without complicated cooking. The best choice depends on texture, intensity, ingredients and the way you want to serve it.

How to use it

Use fennel, oregano, sesame, chilli or other spices according to the recipe. Add small amounts first: good spices should support the dish, not dominate it.

Pairings

Pair with olive oil, pasta, preserves, bread and grilled vegetables.

What should you check?

Always check ingredients, weight, storage after opening and whether the product is ready to eat or needs preparation. Use clean utensils and follow the label after opening.

Buying advice

Before choosing, read the product page carefully: ingredients, weight, producer, format and storage instructions are often more useful than the category name alone. This is especially important for artisan, seasonal or mixed-assortment products.

How to make it part of a Sicilian selection

For a stronger result, combine the product with one or two related items from the Gocce di Sicilia catalogue. A sweet can be paired with coffee or wine; a savoury product with bread, oil or cheese; a gift product with chocolate or a tasting box.
