Fresh Sorrel, Large Bunch

Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch is a large bunch of fresh sorrel – the sharp, lemony-tart herb with broad leaves and a distinctive acidic freshness unlike any other herb. Fresh sorrel is almost unknown in most British kitchens but deeply embedded in classical French cooking. As a result, it makes an extraordinary sauce for fish and a vibrant soup that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Furthermore, the natural acidity of sorrel means it acts as both herb and seasoning simultaneously. In particular, it transforms salmon in a way that no other ingredient quite achieves.

About Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch

We source our fresh herbs from specialist herb growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its condition, fragrance and flavour. As a result, the herbs we deliver meet a standard well above what supermarket plastic packets provide. Furthermore, large bunches give you a genuinely useful quantity. They let you use herbs generously rather than sparingly. However, the freshness of a herb makes all the difference to both flavour and aroma. In particular, herbs that have sat in cold storage for several days lose the volatile oils that carry their character. Additionally, we deliver direct from our growers so you cook with herbs at their most fragrant. A short supply chain from field to kitchen makes all the difference. That is why Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch From Us

Using fresh herbs generously transforms cooking. In contrast to dried herbs, fresh varieties carry volatile aromatic oils. These deliver fragrance, flavour and visual appeal simultaneously. As a result, good fresh herbs are among the highest-return ingredients in any kitchen. Furthermore, most herbs fall into two categories. Hardy herbs suit cooking. Delicate herbs are best added at the very end. However, even hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage benefit from a final scattering of fresh leaves to brighten the dish. In particular, storing herbs correctly extends their life considerably. Moreover, treat soft herbs like flowers. Stand them in a little water in the fridge to keep them fresh for several extra days. Additionally, hardy herbs keep well wrapped in damp kitchen paper. That is why we always include guidance with every delivery.

How to Cook Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch

To get the very best from Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch:

• Wilt briefly in butter for a sauce – sorrel turns a drab khaki when cooked but the flavour is outstanding.
• Use raw in a salad where the sharp, lemony character provides real contrast to sweeter leaves.
• Furthermore, fresh sorrel makes the definitive cream sauce for salmon – the acidity cuts the richness perfectly.
• Additionally, blend into a cold soup with potato and cream for a vibrant spring preparation.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch pairs beautifully with:

• Salmon and trout – sorrel sauce for salmon is one of the great French preparations
• Eggs, cream and butter in classic French preparations
• New potatoes in a simple warm potato and sorrel salad
• A chilled Chablis, Muscadet or a dry Sauvignon Blanc alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Store soft herbs like basil, coriander and parsley standing in a little water in the fridge. Cover loosely with a bag. Store hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage wrapped in damp kitchen paper. Keep in a sealed bag in the fridge. Furthermore, most fresh herbs keep for 5 to 7 days when stored well. However, basil is the exception – store at room temperature as cold turns the leaves black. Delivered fresh and ready to use.

However you use it, Fresh Sorrel Large Bunch brings a freshness and quality to any dish that dried or older alternatives simply cannot provide. Moreover, cooking with genuinely fresh herbs and garnishes is one of the most immediate ways to raise the standard of any kitchen.
