Lavender: The taste of purple

Previously used primarily as an ornamental plant or scent, Lavender is currently conquering restaurants with its slightly tart, floral notes adding exciting accents. A look at the most exciting lavender creations on current Swiss menus.

Lavender belongs to the sage family and is particularly rich in essential oils, making its taste intense and almost perfumed. Therefore, less is more.

Its aromas are reminiscent of rosemary and citrus with a subtle bitter note that accentuates both sweet and savory in an exciting way.
