Rinci Sea Fennel Spread

Chances are, few people outside Ancona—the capital of Italy’s Marche region—have heard of sea fennel. This aromatic coastal plant grows wild in the rocky crevices of Mediterranean sea cliffs, prized for its succulent texture and distinctive marine flavor with bright hints of lemon.

Rinci’s Sea Fennel Spread captures that essence in a thick, salsa verde–style blend of pickled sea fennel, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, anchovy paste, and seasonings. Savory and tangy, it’s a versatile condiment that brings vibrant, ocean-inspired flavor to all kinds of seafood dishes.

Use this one-of-a-kind spread to elevate grilled fish or seared scallops, or toss it with spaghetti and clams for a flavorful seafood pasta. It’s also perfect simply spread over warm crostini or layered into sandwiches for a touch of savory and delicately briny flavor.

Sea fennel* 47%, sunflower seed oil, lemon juice from concentrate, extra virgin olive oil, anchovy paste (Fish), salt, garlic powder, black pepper. *Paccasassi (Crithmum maritimum)
