Description:

Tarragon originates from  Siberia, from Russia and  from North Asia. It was introduced into Europe in the Middle Ages by the crusades.
Greeks and Romans believed it was effective against snakebites
In India, tarragon juice was a drink only for royalties.

Tarragon is cultivated in Europe, in Asia and in America.
It is harvested from May to August.

Tarragon is a key element of the "fine herbs" mix as well as béarnaise and tartar sauces.
It is ideal for the base for vinaigrettes and for mustards.

Young shoots and tarragon leaves are used for their fine and penetrating aroma with an aniseed taste
When cooked, tarragon develops all its flavour.
Basil is tarragon’s enemy, as its aroma is as strong.
