In contrast to the foliage of the plant, which some uncharitable people say stinks of bugs, coriander seeds have a very pleasant smell. The reason for this is the essential oils it contains. These are apparent in the fresh, citrus-like taste and smell.
Coriander is very versatile and goes well with pulses (beans, peas, lentils), (raw) fish, poultry, lamb, carrots and lots of other things.
Coriander echtöl: The No. 1 in our oil family.
Using a special oil press for spices, we obtain one of the purest and most natural spice essences, which can be derived from the coriander seed. Our cold-pressed/native coriander oil is a fresh spice oil for Asian, oriental and other favourite dishes. It is entirely made up of the so-called ‘fat oil’ contained in the coriander seed. This itself contains the aromatic essential oil and is excellently suited to seasoning in this natural form.
