Originating in the western Mediterranean, lavender is a highly aromatic plant with a sweetly floral and spicy aroma carrying notes of lemon and mint. Versatile lavender must be used in small quantities because its flavor quickly becomes overbearing. Used sparingly, lavender flowers enhance the flavors of beef, lamb and goat as well as sweets like ice cream. Other food affinities include apple jelly, butter, cream, custard, dark chocolate, hibiscus, honey, sugar, tea, pepper and vinegar.

Tips for Success
Lavender powder can be used in cooking to add a unique floral flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. It's especially well-suited for baking, where it can be added to cookies, cakes, and ice cream. In savory dishes, it can be used in rubs, marinades, or sauces, and it pairs well with rich, fatty foods like meat or seafood.
FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
