Fresh Tarragon, Large Bunch

Fresh Tarragon Large Bunch is a large bunch of fresh tarragon – the elegant, anise-scented French herb that is indispensable in classical French cuisine. Fresh tarragon is one of the four fines herbes alongside chervil, parsley and chives. As a result, it appears in bearnaise sauce, poulet a l’estragon and throughout the French kitchen. Furthermore, the anise character of tarragon complements chicken, fish and egg dishes with particular distinction. In particular, fresh French tarragon has a more refined, sweeter anise character than Russian tarragon varieties.

About Fresh Tarragon 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 Tarragon Large Bunch from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Tarragon 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.

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.
