Začini Aromatice - Aromatica’s spices
Uz balzame, kupke, eterična ulja, kreme i ostale divote za njegu tijela i lica, Aromatica ima i začine koje rado koristim kod spremanja jela s domaćim kefirom.
A koji su to? Samo nastavite čitati :)
Jadranski začin
Mješavina pomno odabranih mirodija jadranskog priobalja upotpuniti će vaš užitak u svim jelima mesa i ribe - mažuran, ružmarin, majčina dušica i borovica.
Mažuran je osvježavajućeg, slatkastog te pomalo ljutkastog mirisa i arome. Grci i Rimljani uplitali su cvjetove mažurana u vijence mladencima i kupali se u aromatičnim vodama kako bi im donio mir.
Ružmarin ima intenzivan, pomalo uljasti miris i aromu. Upotrebljavaju se listići i mekane grančice. Tvrđe grančice možete koristiti kao mirisne štapiće za povrtne ražnjiće.
Majčina dušica ljekovita je samonikla biljka koja se od davnina koristila za različite zdravstvene probleme. Kao začin jelima daje poseban okus i miris.
Borovica je zimzelena biljka. Krase ju sitni, igličasti listovi i privlačni plavi, mesnati plodovi koji sa zrenjem poprimaju ljubičastu boju. Plodovi borovice (bobice), koriste se u obliku sokova, čajeva, tinktura, a bobice možete i konzumirati, dok su svježe. Iglice borovice, svježe ili osušene, dodaju se raznim čajevima.
Veronikina tajna
Slatko pikantna mješavina kima, koromača i anisa začina dati će neodoljiv okus kruhu i pecivu.
Kim ima jak miris od esencijalnih ulja koja sadrži u sebi. Uglavnom se koristi kao začin za kruh, pretežno raženi, ali i druga peciva. Dodaje se kao začin povrću, mahunarkama, žitaricama, salatama, ali i slatkim jelima.
Koromač se najviše koristi u začinske svrhe zbog ugodnog slatkastog okusa. Može se koristiti sam ili češće u mješavini začina. Sjemenke koromača se koriste kao začin u različitim slatkim i slanim jelima, a često se koristi za aromatiziranje likera, biljnih rakija i aperitiva.
Anis je poznat po svojim aromatičnim začinskim i ljekovitim svojstvima. Rimljani su često njime začinjavali kolače da bi izbjegli tromost crijeva i smetnje probave. To mu je priskrbilo naziv Solamen intestinorum - "tješitelj crijeva".
Začin vesele Lucije
Uživajte u aromatičnoj i osvježavajućoj kombinaciji mediteranskih biljaka origana i bosiljka.
Origano je jedinstvenog i intenzivnog okusa i mirisa.
Bosiljak ima osvježavajuće mirisne, pikantne listove koji su odlični u raznim slanim jelima, osobito s povrćem, a posebno s rajčicom. Najmirisniji su posve svježi listovi i mladi vrhovi biljke.
Klinčić
Klinčić se koristi u pripremi slastica i kolača, ali i u pripremi raznih napitaka kao što su to kuhano vino, kompot ili čajevi. Miris im je topao, opor i aromatičan, a okus slatkasto-trpak i vrlo jak, zbog čega je danas klinčić jedan od najslavnijih začina na svijetu i ima uistinu široku upotrebu. U naše krajeve davno su ga donijeli pomorci sa svojih putovanja.
Začin cimet
Cimet se koristi od davnina kao začinska i ljekovita biljka. Njegova svojstva pomažu kod napetosti te djeluje protuupalno. Jako je važno razlikovati pravi, cejlonski cimet od onog kineskog jer samo prvi ima iznimna ljekovita svojstva. Taj se ljekoviti cimet dobiva iz stabla vrste Cinnamomum verum (ili Cinnamomum zeylanicum), a stiže nam iz Šri Lanke (nekadašnji Cejlon).

Aromatica’s spices
In addition to balms, baths, essential oils, creams and other beauty treatments for body and face, Aromatica has spices that I enjoy to use when preparing meals with homemade kefir.
Adriatic spices
Mixture of carefully selected herbs from Adriatic coast will supplement your pleasure in all dishes with meat and fish - marjoram, rosemary, thyme, juniper.
The marjoram has a refreshing, sweet and slightly aromatic scent and aroma. The Greeks and Romans interwoven the flowers of marjoram into the wreaths of the newlyweds and bathed in aromatic water to bring them peace.
Rosemary has an intense, slightly oily scent and aroma. Leaflets and soft twigs are used for cooking. Hard twigs can be used as scented sticks for vegetable barbecue.
Thyme is a medicinal wild plant that has been used since ancient times and for various health problems. As a spice it gives the dishes a special taste and aroma.
Juniper is an evergreen plant. It is garnished with tiny, needle-like leaves and attractive blue fruits that, when ripe, turn purple. Juniper (berries) are used in the form of juices, teas, tinctures, and berries can be consumed while fresh. Juniper needles, fresh or dried, are added to various teas.
Veronica’s secret
A sweet spicy mixture of a Cumin, Fennel and Anise spices will give the unforgettable taste of bread and baking.
Cumin has a strong scent of essential oils that it contains. It’s mainly used as a bread spice, mostly for rye breads, but also for other pastries. It can be added as a spice to vegetables, legumes, grains, salads, but also to sweet dishes.
Fennel is mostly used for its pleasant sweet taste. It can be used alone or more often in a spice mix. Fennel seeds are used as a spice in various sweet and savory dishes, and are often used to flavor liqueurs, herbs and aperitifs.
Anise is known for its aroma and medicinal properties. It was often used by the Romans to spice cakes to avoid bowel obstruction and digestion issues. This gave him the name Solamen intestinorum - "gut comforter".
Happy Lucia’s spice
Enjoy the refreshing combination of Mediterranean Oregano and Basil plants.
Oregano has an unique and intense taste and aroma.
Basil has refreshingly fragrant, spicy leaves that go great with savory dishes, especially with vegetables (tomatoes). The most fragrant are the fresh leaves and young tips of the plant.
Clove
Clove is a widespread and well-known spice. It is used in the preparation of pastries and cakes as well as in preparation of various beverages such as boiled wine, compote or tea.
They have warm, pungent and aromatic smell and sweet-hearty and very strong taste which is why today clove is one of the most famous spices in the world and is truly widely used. It was brought to our area long ago by sailors from their voyages.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon has been used since ancient times as an herbal plant and in medicine. It helps with tension and it has anti-inflammatory properties. It is very important that we differentiate Ceylon cinnamon from Chinese one, since only the Ceylon cinnamon has exceptional healing properties. This cinnamon is obtained from the trees Cinnamomum verum (or Cinnamomum zeylanicum) and comes from Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon).
