The Aromas of the Fishmonger's Blend

This blend releases herbaceous and aniseed notes that pair perfectly with fish! These aromas are balanced by the resinous flavors of pink berries, which give a particularly appreciated sweetness.

What Is the Fishmonger's Blend Composed of?

The Fishmonger's Blend is composed of dill, parsley, pink berries, fennel, and rosemary.

Dill, which makes up this blend, botanically known as Anethum graveolens, is part of the Umbelliferae family, also called Apiaceae, which includes, for example, coriander, cumin, fennel, or even carrot. Umbellifers are very common in temperate regions and grow in a Mediterranean climate. The dill plant can grow up to 70 centimeters tall, and in the summer season, it blooms with a yellow color, and large umbrellas resembling small umbrellas form.

Parsley, whose botanical name is Petroselinum crispum or sativum, is a plant measuring between 30 and 80 centimeters in height. This aromatic plant also belongs to the Umbelliferae family.

Pink berries are mistakenly called "pink pepper," but they do not belong to the Piper genus. The scientific name of pink berries is Schinus terebinthifolius. The botanical family to which pink berries belong is the Anacardiaceae, which includes many trees and shrubs such as sumac, mango, or even the cashew tree, which produces cashew nuts. Rosemary, whose name comes from the Latin "rosmarinus," meaning "dew of the sea," comes from a shrub called Rosmarinus officinalis, which grows wild throughout the Mediterranean basin.

Rosemary from Crete is cultivated on terraces, following organic farming practices, in the mountains and hills overlooking the sea. It is then dried in traditional dryers, open to the winds.
