Fennel seeds have a warm aroma and sweet, anise-like flavour, often used in Italian cooking. Fennel seeds can be ground but they can also be roasted or eaten whole. When roasted they reveal a delicate, almost hidden sweetness. Fennel pairs beautifully with the robust flavours found in cured meats and rich, oily fish like mackerel, sardines, herring and salmon. Roman soldiers are said to have consumed fennel to empower them on the battlefield.

Information from the supplier:

Juniper Berries are dark purplish berry that are known for giving gin its characteristic taste. These berries have a woody, pine-like aroma and a refreshing, spicy flavour. They benefit from being crushed slightly before use to help release the flavours. If you plan to grind Juniper Berries, make sure to grind them immediately before using as they lose their flavour quickly once the seeds inside are exposed. Juniper Berries add a refreshing element to many foods, particularly to heavy, rich dishes and gamey meats.

One way you can raise your wines to a higher level of perfection is by employing the use of filtration. You can enhance its appearance, shorten its aging time, lighten its body and colour if so desired, or make the wine more stable, reducing the chance of re-fermentation while in the bottle.

Flush filter pads with plenty of cold water before introduction of wine or beer. This procedure softens the pores, maximises the available surface area and leads to better filtration and longer pad life. Always keep heavy solids from the bottom of the container out of filter presses.

The rough side of the pad always faces the INLET plates.
