Organic Culinary Lavender

Peggy's years spent living in France obviously inspired her love of lavender. She is a wonderful cook and never tires of hearing how home chefs have utilized our artisanal organic culinary lavender to elevate their dishes. 



Provencal chefs have used lavender in their cooking for centuries. Culinary lavender adds delicate floral and herbal notes to many signature french dishes. Lavender is a mint relative and can enhance the flavor of almost anything from roasted meats to homemade sweets. 

Our fragrant handcut lavender buds are subtly floral with hints of mint and citrus. Lavender is a natural partner for roast chicken or lamb. A tiny pinch of lavender can enhance any sauce or soup you create. Lavender enlivens homemade ice-cream and is perfect for creme brûlée. 

Here are a few of our favorite lavender dishes that have been featured on this blog:

Lavender Apple Tart

Carmel Sauce

Cream of Corn

Herb Butter

Lavender Simple Syrup & Peaches

Lavender Lemonade

Lemon Lavender Macaroons

Our organic culinary lavender is one of our favorite artisanal spices that our family owned farm harvests. What have you made with Lavender? Do you have any recipes you'd like to see Peggy try?
