Chervil Cress

Chervil Cress, our living microgreen, delivers a mild parsley flavor with a subtle hint of anise, making it a go-to ingredient in professional kitchens. It’s a staple in French cuisine, and is often called “French parsley”. Its feathery green leaves and light, tender texture bring fresh, aromatic depth without overpowering other ingredients.

Because it’s a living microgreen, it can be snipped fresh, ensuring maximum flavor, aroma, and nutrient retention. Packed with essential vitamins and antioxidants, Chervil Cress contributes to overall wellness. With its distinctive notes, Chervil Cress works across various applications, making it a versatile, fresh ingredient chefs can rely on for bold yet balanced flavor.

Chervil Cress is an excellent finishing herb for light broths, bisques, and creamy soups. Its fresh, herbaceous notes complement delicate flavors like chicken consommé, vegetable velouté, and seafood chowders.

With its bright, mild flavor, Chervil Cress is a natural fit for salads and vinaigrettes. It pairs well with butter lettuce, frisée, and endive, adding a hint of anise-like sweetness. In traditional French dishes, Chervil Cress is often used to finish delicate omelets and scrambled eggs, lending a refined touch.

A classic French microgreen works alongside parsley, tarragon, and chive and is used to season fish, poultry, and vegetable dishes. When added to pasta, Chervil Cress brings a subtle, fresh complexity. Try it in a light cream sauce for tagliatelle, a seafood linguine, or a simple butter and herb dressing for fresh gnocchi.
