Historically, Dill has been widely used in cooking to preserve the freshness of food. This plant has long been recognized for its virtues.
Dill is a 20-50 cm umbelliferous plant that thrives in arid soils, roadsides and waste ground. Originally from Asia Minor, Dill has acclimatized and is now cultivated in Southern Europe. At Essenciagua, we’ve chosen to focus on French production and select dill grown in Burgundy.
