Antica Drogheria Francioni Ground Wild Fennel Seeds

Coarsely grinding fennel seeds not only releases their unmistakably sweet and spicy anise-like fragrance, but also maintains the delightful crunchiness that sets them apart from pulverized fennel seed powder. Bruno Francioni, the man behind our best-selling Fennel Pollen, forages exclusively in Tuscany, Umbria and Sicily, hand-harvesting wild fennel during its peak season in September and October.

Essential when making your own Italian-inspired sausages or porchetta spice mix at home, Francioni Ground Wild Fennel Seeds also bring a pop of bold flavor to cookies, cakes and teas.

Antica Drogheria Francioni is located in Ponte a Poppi, in the heart of the Casentino Valley of eastern Tuscany. Signor Francioni along with a group of local retired friends scout the countryside for tall, wild green fennel to make their treasured Tuscan spices.
