AVOCADO: A FRUIT WITH AN ANISEED HEART

Mar 8, 2021

In Mexican kitchens, it is classically associated with fresh coriander, and rightly so, as it is dominated, among other things, by aniseed aromatic compounds. Avocado also has a very close aromatic relationship with the large family of terpenic herbs (rosemary, cardamom, balsam fir…), as well as with wines marked by aromas of the terpene family, which is the case of riesling and albariño.
