True French Lavender Details
True French Lavender is a true gem in the world of culinary and decorative flowers. Known for its rich, sweet, and aromatic fragrance, this lavender stands out with its vibrant purple blooms and delicate, fine petals. Unlike hybrid varieties like Lavandin, which is often used for its stronger scent in soaps and sachets, True French Lavender offers a more refined, floral aroma that’s ideal for creating exquisite garnishes. Its aroma adds depth and balance to both sweet and savory dishes.
Chefs appreciate how True French Lavender seamlessly elevates a variety of dishes – from baked goods and desserts to cocktails. The petals impart a subtle, floral note, making them perfect for garnish.
Garnishing Tips
True French Lavender is an exquisite decorative flower that can effortlessly elevate the presentation of any dish. For desserts, try placing a small sprig of lavender on top of cakes, cupcakes, or pastries to add a pop of color and a subtle floral touch. It pairs beautifully with light-colored frosting or creamy toppings, where its rich purple hue contrasts strikingly. For savory dishes, sprinkle a few lavender sprigs on top of a beautifully plated salad, or use it to adorn roasted vegetables and fresh cheeses, offering an aromatic elegance to the dish.
True French Lavender also makes an exceptional garnish for cocktails, where it can be used either as a whole sprig or a few individual petals placed on the rim of the glass for a touch of color and fragrance.
Storage and Usage Tips
To maintain its fragrance and quality, store True French Lavender in their clamshell packaging and keep it in a cool, dark, and dry location.
