-
Lavas (Levisticum officinale) is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae or Apiaceae family, and is one of the most important aromatic herbs in European cuisine. The aroma of lovage is so distinctive and characteristic that it can be easily recognized in herb gardens. In addition to its unique flavor, lovage has health-promoting ingredients that have made it an important medicinal herb since ancient times. The plant is also known as maggi herb or maggi plant, as its strong and distinctive scent is reminiscent of the maggi aroma, but lovage is not an ingredient of maggi. The taste of lovage is reminiscent of celery. However, the taste experience is much more intense. The fresh leaves are mainly used. But it is also possible to dry the herb.
