Organic Dried Chives from Nurse's yard

Grown in the high-altitude gardens of the Pflegerhof farm, our Organic Dried Chives bring the crystalline freshness of the Dolomites to your table. Scientifically known as Allium schoenoprasum, this aromatic plant is hand-picked at its peak and gently dried to preserve its bright green color and intense aroma. Unlike commercial varieties, our chives retain their distinctive onion-like fragrance, yet with a superior delicacy and sweetness.
It's a versatile and valuable ingredient, capable of reviving the flavor of simple dishes with its herbaceous and slightly spicy notes. Its "farmhouse quality" is evident in every pinch: clean, free of woody stems, and rich in essential oils. Perfect for those who love enriching their cuisine with authentic, wholesome flavors, grown in full respect of natural rhythms.

The roots of this herb are deep in tradition

Chives are the smallest and most delicate of the onion family. Used since ancient times in China and then spread to Europe by the Romans, they have always been prized not only for their flavor, but also for the belief that their pungent aroma could ward off evil spirits. They are a staple in Tyrolean culinary tradition: from dumplings to potato salads, chives ("Schnittlauch") are the symbol of peasant cuisine enriched with flavor thanks to the bounty of the garden.

Choosing organic chives means taking care of yourself

Beyond their culinary value, chives are a powerhouse of health. They are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants that support the immune system. They have natural digestive properties and, thanks to the sulfur compounds typical of alliaceae, have a mild antibacterial effect and are beneficial for circulation. Using them in place of salt or fatty seasonings is an excellent way to add flavor to dishes while maintaining a healthy and light nutritional profile.
