Lovage is a seasonal product now available from Flowerdale Farm through the Glenora Heritage Produce range. Lovage leaves have a strong aromatic smell and taste similar to celery. This European herb is a member of the parsley family and is frequently used in salads, casseroles, soups and stews as well as in potato, pork and poultry dishes.
Lovage combines well with apples, carrots, zucchini, cream cheese, ham, mushrooms, rice, sweetcorn and tomatoes. It also complements bay leaves, caraway, chilli, chives, dill, garlic, oregano, parsley and thyme. A unique application of Lovage is the ability to crystallize leaves and stems for decorating cakes.
