Dried Lemon Balm

Dried lemon balm undergoes a drying process to preserve its aroma and flavor. It tastes similar to fresh lemon balm, but tends to be slightly more concentrated. The aroma is characterized by fresh, herbaceous notes and a slight hint of citrus.

Chef’s Advice

Dried lemon balm pairs well with game, beef and fish tartare such as char or bluefish with menthol and fresh notes, but also to flavor vinegars with a neutral base.

What makes Ordine Contadino flowers and herbs special?

The flowers and herbs are hand-picked and within minutes brought to the drying rooms and placed on frames. The company practices natural drying by dehumidifying the air, without increasing the ambient temperature. The herbs, first defoliated, and dried flowers are placed in paper bags to be stored at controlled humidity and temperature. This process, combined with the chemical/physical/organic characteristics of the soil and the climatic value of the place (Temperature excursion/Solar exposure/Altitude) leads to a dried product with high concentration of essential oils and high color yield over time.
