" Strong, spicy celery character ".
Lovage, also known as Maggi herb, is an intensely fragrant herb originally from Western Asia and now used in many European cuisines. Its leaves have a flavor reminiscent of celery and exude a robust aroma strongly similar to the well-known Maggi seasoning. This makes it an indispensable herb for anyone who loves a tangy, savory taste.

Application
Lovage is excellent for soups, stews, sauces, as well as meat and fish dishes. It pairs particularly well with garlic, tarragon, and chervil. Because the herb is very intense, it should be used sparingly – whether fresh or dried.
Interesting facts

Its characteristic aroma not only adds depth to dishes but also evokes memories of classic home cooking.
