Dried Lovage

Dried lovage is obtained by drying the leaves and seeds to preserve the aroma and flavor. Dried lovage tastes similar to fresh lovage, but tends to be more concentrated. The aroma is characterized by herbaceous, aromatic and slightly salty notes, with a pleasant refreshing sensation. It tastes similar to celery but with more depth.

Chef’s Advice

Lovage juice can be used in the preparation of sorbets, desserts and as a base for cocktails. Dried lovage can otherwise be used to make a lovage reduction and then create spherified caviar with the help of the gelling agent.

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.
