Legendary products – The flavour of another world
Herbs and spices are much more than just exquisite ingredients, they are inspiration and food for our fantasy and senses. Many explorers like Marco Polo or Vasco da Gama made adventurous attempts to bring valuable spices like pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla to the medieval Europe. There they were turned into gold and transformed cities like Venice or Hamburg into what we still admire as jewels nowadays.
But their taste was not the only reason for their high value in former times. It was mainly their curativeness that made them famous. Local herbs and exotic spices were the basis of the natural pharmacy, which was absolutely essential for most common practices amongst witches and monks for centuries.
Nowadays flavours of spices invite us on countless expeditions, which are as full of variations as the food of the world itself: Sometimes we take a bite of distant and unknown lands, which we have never seen before. Another time we reminisce about flavours like holiday memories and bring back our nicest experiences. Sometimes we time travel to the past and wallow in the familiar taste of our childhood.
This is how cooking with spices and herbs invites us to come along on an expedition which leads far away to the endless and varied realm of joy. We from Kotányi do everything possible in order to make sure you are able to accept this invitation day by day.
