tarragon

Delicate aroma with a sunny character

ORIGIN AND DESCRIPTION

Tarragon ( Artemisia dracunculus ) is an aromatic herb that plays a significant role in European cuisine, particularly in France. It is known for its sweet, sunny aroma with notes of fennel, anise, and a hint of basil. Traditionally used in sauces, dressings, and savory dishes, tarragon brings an elegant zest to the kitchen.

TASTE AND AROMA

Sweet, aniseed-like, with a warm, herbal freshness.

APPLICATION

Tarragon pairs beautifully with eggs, fish, poultry, artichokes, and seafood. It's a key ingredient in the classic Béarnaise sauce and adds a subtle, sophisticated touch to salad dressings and marinades. Fresh tarragon is often used sparingly because of its concentrated flavor, while dried tarragon is milder and has a longer shelf life.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Rich in antioxidant compounds and essential oils, tarragon aids digestion, can stimulate the appetite, and has calming properties.
