Description
Chervil, Anthriscus cerefolium, is a small low-growing annual of
the carrot family. It derives its name from the Latin
chaerophyllum which means "festive herb" or "herb of joy." Its
lacy, fern like foliage is dried and ground for seasoning. Even
though it is a member of the Parsley family, it is much more
aromatic.
Uses
Used in poultry, seafood, vegetables, vinegar, and soups.
Chervil is used in French and European cuisine and the spice
blends of bouquet garni and fines herbes.
Origins
Chervil is native to eastern Europe and western Asia. It was
introduced to France and England by the Romans more than 2,000
years ago. It is now sourced by McCormick primarily from France
and Holland.
