Description
The spicy and aromatic taste of lovage
Lovage, also called Maggi herb, is a versatile herb that is still relatively unknown. The scent is reminiscent of the well-known Maggi-aroma, while the taste is strong, savory and slightly pungent. Ground lovage is ideal for soups, stews, sauces, fish dishes and various vegetable dishes.
At Natural Spices you can order lovage in a package of 300 grams or 5 kilograms.
Where does lovage come from?
Our ground lovage is made from the dried and finely ground leaves of the lovage plant (Levisticum officinale). This plant originates from southern Europe and was already spread across much of Europe by the Romans. Today lovage also grows in North America.
The leaves resemble those of celery and the taste also has many similarities: savory, spicy and aromatic. For that reason lovage is a popular herb to add extra flavor to dishes, allowing you to use less salt in many recipes.
How do you use lovage?
Lovage is a real flavor enhancer in the kitchen. It fits excellently in:
- pea soup and bean soup;
- broths and other soups;
- stews;
- fish dishes;
- sauces;
- herb butter;
- potato dishes;
- salads;
- home-baked bread.
Preferably add the herb at the end of the preparation so that the full aroma is preserved.
