Fresh Dill Leaves – Delicate & Aromatic

🌿 Fresh Dill – Delicate, Fragrant & Full of Flavour

Our Fresh Culinary Dill Leaves have delicate feathery leaves, a wonderfully fresh aroma and a distinctive herbal flavour with subtle citrus and anise-like notes.

Fresh dill is particularly good with fish, seafood, potatoes, cucumber and yoghurt. Chop it into creamy sauces and dressings, scatter it over warm new potatoes or use it to add fresh flavour to homemade pickles and salads.

Because dill has a delicate character, it’s generally best added towards the end of cooking or immediately before serving.
