Herbs - OHCo. Organic Herb Company

This exclusive range includes flavoured oils like the award winning Coriander, Fennel and Dill, and the prettily named Irish Garden Herb Oil – mix of the most common herbs of this country which adds a taste of Ireland to all dishes. Best quality spices like vanilla pods and peppercorns come from farther afield – but always from top organic producers. Five different seaweeds from the north west of Ireland are sourced for a special seaweed seasoning. Use this to flavour oil for dipping your bread, or to add a salty tang when sprinkled on fresh fish or meats. Seaweed is becoming a big thing for its health properties, and this seasoning is the way to get started in introducing it to the diet on a regular basis. Other kitchen essential seasonings include Coarse Sea Salt, and Herb Sea Salt, both of which add that certain something to everyday cooking. Spices like the Cajun mix, Harissa Spice or Indian Curry spices create authentic ethnic flavours. Lemon  Verbena and Ginger Rub really perks up fish or chicken. The highly acclaimed and best selling Brooklodge Spice Rub was specially developed by Michael and the Chef at The Brooklodge Hotel, the only organic hotel in Ireland.

So if all that has whetted your appetite, you can find these simply labelled and stylish looking products at independent good food outlets. Avoca nationwide, Fallon & Byrne, Donnybrook Fair, Caviston’s and The Merrion Hotel in Dublin, McCambridges of Galway, Kay O’Connell’s Fishmongers in the English Market are all prime stockists.  The Brooklodge Hotel also has the full range.
