juniper berries, whole

Our Whole Juniper Berries hail from the untouched expanses of Europe and America, bringing a touch of wildness into your kitchen. Traditionally used to flavor gin and spirits, these dried berries come in an enticing shade of blue to black, carrying a unique, aromatic profile that is part mystery, part delightful. When crushed, the intricate interplay of their flavor complements an array of ingredients, from garlic and rosemary to marjoram and sea salt. These wild berries transform ordinary meals into gourmet dishes, enhancing the flavors of beef, game meats, and poultry, readying them for roasting, grilling, or braising. They also add a dimension to sauces, stuffings, pates, and cabbage dishes, infusing exquisite depth and complexity.
