No kitchen is complete without a healthy selection of herbs and the high quality range from Schwartz for Chef includes traditional flavours of Parsley and Sage, through to the Mediterranean essence of Basil and Herbes de Provence. The Schwartz for Chef range of premium freeze-dried herbs offers chefs an effective alternative to fresh herbs. Freeze-drying retains all of the taste, colour, nutrients and texture of the fresh ingredient and ensures your kitchen will never be ‘out of season’.

Spices from across the globe have long been a key ingredient used in cookery to flavour, colour and enhance foods. The superior quality of the range from Schwartz for Chef can offer an intense explosion of flavour on their own but the Schwartz for Chef team is also expert at blending the flavours of different herbs and spices. This range of seasonings can be used to create authentic-tasting dishes with the added convenience of being ready-to-use, delivering consistency in quality every time. The seasonings can be sprinkled onto food prior to cooking, used in sauces or marinades or added last minute for maximum impact.
