Our Fresh Culinary Chive Leaves have a delicate onion flavour, vibrant green colour and wonderfully fresh aroma. Much milder than ordinary onions or spring onions, chives are perfect when you want a subtle savoury flavour without overpowering the rest of the dish.

Finely snip them over scrambled eggs, baked potatoes and soups, stir them into creamy dips and dressings, or combine them with butter and herbs for an easy finishing touch.

Fresh, colourful and incredibly easy to use, chives are a brilliant everyday kitchen herb.

Delicate. Fresh. Mildly oniony. Full of flavour. 🌿

Should chives be cooked?

They can be cooked, but their delicate flavour is best preserved by adding them towards the end of cooking or immediately before serving.

What foods pair well with fresh chives?

Chives pair particularly well with eggs, potatoes, cheese, fish, chicken, salads, soups, yoghurt, cream cheese and butter.

How should fresh chives be stored?

Keep them refrigerated and protected from excess moisture. Use while they’re fresh and vibrant for the best flavour.
