Fenugreek Absolute

Original designation: Fenugrec ABS

Trigonella foenum-graecum L.

Fenugreek absolute is gourmand before gourmand became a genre: maple, walnut, hay, tobacco and a curious curry-like heat. In trace amounts it can make sweetness feel ancient, savoury and wonderfully enigmatic.

Extraction & expression

Absolute extraction preserves a broad, saturated portrait of the source. Traditionally, fragrant biomass is first solvent-extracted and the resulting concrete or resinoid is purified with alcohol, giving perfumers a dense material rich in less-volatile facets.
