Chervil is a parsley-like herb that grows to a height of 20 – 40 cm. Its thin stems have multiple pinnate, light green leaves with a pleasant scent. Chervil likes moderate temperatures, which is why
it is difficult to find in the heat of summer.
Its fine, delicate, slightly sweet flavour is reminiscent of aniseed and fennel and makes it a real jackof-all-trades: fresh chervil can be used to make delicious soups. In combination with other herbs, it becomes the famous “green sauce”. It is ideal for dips based on quark, yoghurt and cream, for herb butter, for seasoning soups, salads, vegetables (especially asparagus), as well as meat and fish dishes and for garnishing cold dishes.
