Lovage

What is Lovage?

Lovage, a tall herb with celery-like leaves and a strong, savoury celery-and-anise flavour.

Used to flavour soups, stocks, stews and sauces, or sparingly in salads; its potent flavour means a little goes a long way.

What's behind the price

UK produce moves through the wholesale markets — New Covent Garden and the regional markets — fed by British growers in season and by Spanish, Dutch and other imports out of season. That's why a case rate on lovage can shift week to week.

It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.

British-grown herb at its best from late spring through summer.

Per case or per kilo?

Produce is sold by the case, with a per-kilo rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.

Sold by the bunch; buy fresh, perky leaves and use sparingly, as the intense flavour can dominate a dish if overused.
