description Dried Lovage Overview
Dried lovage is the dehydrated leaf of Levisticum officinale, a tall perennial herb in the parsley family. Its concentrated aroma resembles celery, with a strong savory quality that suits soups, stocks, stews, sauces, and legume dishes. Because drying intensifies the herb's flavor and reduces its fresh green notes, cooks generally use it in modest quantities and add it to foods that have enough liquid and cooking time for rehydration.
