Chives, Organic (30g)

£2.40
(80p per 10g)

Chives are a member of the onion family, but have a milder, more delicate taste, similar to spring onions or young leeks. Chop it up and use it as garnish for your chicken or fish dishes, or to add a finishing touch to your bowls of soup. The added bonus is they dry freeze without losing their great taste.

Country of Origin - UK/Italy

Producer

Simon Weir, of Turf Croft Herbs, grows most of our herbs, in a small farm in the New Forest. He has been growing herbs for nearly 30 years now, and has always shied away from using chemicals and pesticides. However, since there was little interest in organic herbs until recently, it was only a few years ago that he applied for organic certification; he just sold his herbs as conventional produce. Recent interest in organic growing means Simon has changed few of his growing techniques, but they have finally been given the appreciation they deserve.

During the winter season, we source some of our herbs from a family-run farm set up by Francesco Barduca in 1977 on the outskirts of Borgoricco in Italy. Francesco Barduca has always combined a love for the soil with an awareness of the need for environmental protection.

Storage & prep

Fresh chives are excellent for making herbal butters and vinegars. They can also be used in salads, soups, and soft cheese and on grilled meats. Chives are one of the finest herbs and can be chopped and mixed together with chervil, parsley, and tarragon to make a mild blend of herbs to flavour cooked chicken and fish, salads, steamed vegetables, soups, and omelettes. Keep wrapped up in a plastic bag, in your fridge. This will retain moisture and keep it fresh for you.

Don't forget to wash you fruit and veg before use.
