Caraway is one of the oldest spices. Its peculiarity is that it makes heavy dishes, easier to digest. It is known for its tart-spicy, slightly bitter aroma and the refined light notes of citrus are particularly suitable for cabbage dishes, stews and roast pork. But it also works wonderfully with cottage cheese and cream cheese spreads.

• Tip: Combine with aniseed, coriander and fennel for baking.
