As the rush of Christmas kicks in the popularity of herbs such as Sage, Rosemary and Thyme grows stronger. These fragrant herbs offer unique flavours and comforting aromas, making them a top choice for festive cooking. They are also a staple for chefs and caterers across the country who are looking to a flavourful touch to their Christmas menus. We recognise this seasonal surge in demand for these herb varieties. That is why we are introducing our new 4kg crates of bunched festive herbs to meet the needs of our foodservice, wholesale and hospitality customers.
Each 4kg crate contains fresh bundles of these herbs, offering a practical and cost-effective solution for chefs and caterers. They can simply grab a bundle and use it straight away. Additionally, by purchasing herbs in bundles, you can both reduce waste and save time.
Let’s explore why Rosemary, Sage and Thyme are perfect for festive cooking!
Rosemary
Rosemary has a unique pine-like aroma that mimics the scent of Christmas trees, adding a festive touch to dishes. This herb is great in a number recipes, particularly for roast meats like turkey, lamb and beef, as well as vegetables and marinades. With its vibrant green colour and needle like leaves, Rosemary adds an aesthetic appeal to dishes or even as a decorative element to resemble miniature Christmas trees. Rosemary is available all year round, but is especially abundant during the Winter months.
Thyme
Whether used fresh or dried, Thyme infuses every dish with a cosy, aromatic warmth, making any dish taste like the essence of Christmas. This herb adds a subtle yet essential layer of flavour to hearty dishes such as soups, casseroles and slow cooked dishes. Alongside this, Thyme brings depth and balance, subtly elevating flavour profiles of roasted chicken or turkey. Thyme also complements root vegetables like carrots and parsnips, enhancing their natural sweetness. Overall, Thyme is a versatile herb that can be used in a wide range of festive dishes.
Sage
That’s right, there is no quality stuffing without Sage – it’s the key herb that brings depth to this festive dish, making it an essential ingredient for the holiday season. It doesn’t stop there, Sage’s slightly peppery taste is also ideal for roasted potatoes. Beyond these Christmas dinner favourites, Sage is also commonly used on a wide variety of meats, from turkey and chicken, to pork and sausages.
