Description
Caraway is also known as ‘cumin of the meadow’ due to their similar flavour profiles. Caraway seeds, used mainly to flavour cooking, are spicy and intense - but their fragrant oil can offer a complex, aniseed-like character to a fragrance, with whispers of warm earth. Ffern caraway seeds are harvested in late summer or early autumn in the Northeastern municipality of Oldambt, the Netherlands, where high quality and flavoursome caraway seeds have been cultivated since the Middle Ages. Here, they are meticulously dried, crushed and expertly steam distilled.
