Description
Botanical Name: Carum carvi
Evoking old-world European baking, Alpine kitchens and the spice trails of North Africa, caraway’s distinctive aroma is instantly recognizable: cooling yet warm, sweet, earthy, with hints of anise, citrus and subtle pepper. Long cherished in German, Dutch, Russian, Scandinavian and Middle Eastern cuisines, caraway brings both character and comfort to savoury and sweet dishes.
Our certified organic caraway seeds are stone-milled in small batches at our gluten-free Sydney facility. This gentle milling preserves volatile oils, its signature sweet-minty freshness and creates a naturally rustic, fine texture that blends smoothly into doughs, sauces and slow-cooked dishes. Open the jar and you’ll find a bold, sweet, peppermint-lifted aroma that signals true, freshly milled caraway.
Traditionally used in rye breads, pumpernickel, sauerkraut, goulash, liqueurs and European pastries, caraway is equally at home in modern cooking. Use it for roasted vegetables, spiced butters, grain bowls, pork dishes and warm salads. It pairs beautifully with apples, cabbage, potatoes, cheese, duck and slow-roasted meats, and is known for balancing richness with its sweet-fresh complexity.
