The herb garden in your fridge
Fresh herbs can instantly enhance any dish but can be costly, take time to prepare and sometimes wither before we get through them. Dried herbs are cheaper and longer-lasting but at the cost of a lot of lost flavour and texture, often ending up a fine green dust in a forgotten cupboard corner.
We are happy to introduce the new and unique range of Seggiano single-estate Organic Semi Fresh Herbs, partially cured in Italian rock salt using an innovative process that captures all of the delicious aromatic flavours of fresh herbs, with all the convenience of long shelf-life dried herbs.
A boon for professional chefs and aspiring foodies alike, these practical, ever-fresh ready to use herbs elevate easy home cooking to another level. Our organic basil, coriander, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage and thyme are biodynamically grown on a single estate family farm in southern Italy and harvested when each is at its most potent, so even a smidgen is packed full of flavour. The De Bartolomeis farm, located a little inland from the Almalfi Coast in La Campagna, use a quality organic extra virgin olive oil in the curing process and naturally remove some of the moisture with Sicilian rock salt, which helps the herbs continue to taste fresh for months in the fridge after opening - they remain moist so a single jar will go a long way, adding vibrant aromas to countless dishes.
Seggiano Organic Semi Fresh Herbs
David and Peri met in Roma Ciampino Airport in 1985 and discovered a common passion for holistic wellbeing, sustainable agriculture and Italian food.
Within a few years they launched a small batch of premium Lunaio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, produced on their Southern Tuscan farm, and began searching the country for other speciality producers who shared their enthusiasm for real, artisanal Italian food.
