Origin and production
" Mild onion flavor for every dish ".
Chives are one of the best-known European culinary herbs and botanically belong to the allium family. They are closely related to onions and garlic, but have a significantly milder flavor. For the dried variety, the delicate chives are carefully harvested, gently dried, and cut to preserve their bright green color and fresh aroma. This ensures that their characteristic flavor remains available year-round.
Taste and aroma
Delicate, fresh, and slightly onion-like with a subtle spiciness. The taste is reminiscent of young spring onions and lends dishes a gentle green note without overpowering other flavors.
Application
Ideal for refining quark, herb butter, egg dishes, soups, dips, and salads. Also excellent for sauces, potato dishes, or as a colorful topping for hot dishes. Sprinkle in just before serving or let it steep in liquid for a few minutes to activate the aroma.
Interesting facts
Chives have been cultivated in Europe for centuries and were already a valued culinary and medicinal herb in the Middle Ages. They contain vitamin C, iron, and essential oils and are traditionally considered an invigorating herb that adds freshness and vitality to dishes.
