Seasons/Availability
Italian Parsley is available year round.
Current Facts
Italian Parsley is a member of the Apiaceae family, herbs known for their aromatic qualities and hallow stems. It is cultivated as an herb, vegetable and spice. It is also one of the quintessential ingredients in bouquet garni.
Description/Taste
Italian parsley can be initially distinguished from its curly counterparts by its flat deeper green loosely-toothed leaves. In fact it can be mistaken more readily for cilantro. What makes Italian parsley stand out from other parsleys, though, is its flavor, which can be attributed to its concentration of essential oils. These oils make up the backbone of its fresh peppery, tangy and floral notes. Fresh Italian parsley is preferred to dry, as once dried its flavor and aromatics become nearly faint.
Applications
Italian parsley is most often used fresh, to finish a dish or for garnish, but may also be cooked. Add to fresh cheese and cream, tomato or wine-based sauces. Pair with basil and oregano, meats, seafood, poultry, peppers, onions, squash, and fresh shelling beans. Use the mild, fresh flavor of Italian parsley in soups, stocks and pestos. To store, keep dry and refrigerated until ready to use.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
Italian parsley is one of the key components to Italy's version of salsa verde. It is used as a condiment for several savory culinary applications.
Geography/History
Parsley is native to the central Mediterranean region yet it has been naturalized elsewhere in Europe, and widely cultivated throughout the Northern hemisphere.
