Description

Grown exclusively in their own organically certified fields, Pelindaba’s Organic Culinary Lavender comes from the first of the flowers to be harvested each summer. They select only the finest “”Provence”” flowers, cut by hand just as the first blossoms begin to appear. Bunched and hung to dry (naturally) in the Drying Barn, the flower buds are then stripped from their stalks, sifted through a multi-tiered automated sifter, and then given a further sift and sort by hand to remove any undesirable material. Probably the most versatile and a true culinary treat of culinary herbs, organic lavender has been used over the centuries in an extraordinary range of culinary delights. Up until the 20th century it was in many ways more popular than rosemary. Indeed, for all those savory dishes and gourmet cooking that call for rosemary, think lavender instead for a completely unique alternative flavor.
