Nowadays, many people like to travel abroad. As a romantic capital, France has always been very popular. France is a paradise for people to shop. If you go to Marseille, the things worth buying are Marseille soap and fennel wine. These two things are also very famous locally.
Marseille soap
In Marseilles, the handicraft soap industry appeared after the Crusades (10th century), but it was Colbert (a minister of Louis XIV) who really made Marseilles soap known. By the beginning of the 19th century, there were more than 70 soap making workshops in Marseille, and Marseille soap was also famous all over the world.
So when you get to Marseille, don't forget to buy a local specialty Marseille soap. When you take a bath, the smell of olive oil and lavender will make you completely relaxed. There are almond flavor, lemon flavor, vanilla flavor and many other flavors to choose from.
Fennel wine
Fennel wine is an indispensable part of the French people before meals. Fennel wine is made of fennel oil and distilled wine. It contains a lot of artemisinin. 45 degree alcohol can dissolve fennel oil. Anise oil is generally extracted from star anise and green anise. Star anise oil is mostly used in the production of aperitif and green anise oil is mostly used in the production of liqueur. Depending on the variety, the liquor has different colors and generally has a good luster. The aroma of fennel is strong, complex and charming. The taste is unusual, heavy and stimulating. The alcohol degree is about 25 degrees.
Fennel wine is a liqueur based on fennel. Fennel wine is often used in delicious fish, shellfish, pork and chicken dishes. In addition, the added pigment and caramel can enhance the taste, but the main characteristic of the drink is still the taste of 'anise'. Fennel is still the most consumed liqueur in France today.
