Finale
Bolt-resistant and quick to bulb, which is exactly what you want from fennel. The bulbs are round, white, and have that clean aniseed flavour that works raw or cooked. A modern variety that solves fennel's biggest problem.
in the kitchen
Braised fennel with parmesan
Quarter the bulbs, braise in white wine and stock until meltingly tender, scatter with parmesan and breadcrumbs, and grill until golden. The anise mellows into something sweet and gentle.
