Fresh Bulk Sage

$48.75 for 1lb
$59.00 for 2lbs / $85.00 for 5lbs
(Prices Incl S&H)
  
 
Fresh sage’s large leaves have a soft, almost mossy texture and a potent earthy-peppery flavor. This herb is often used when cooking poultry & meats like chicken, game (particularly wild boar) & pork. It’s particularly good at cutting the fattiness of waterfowl like duck and goose.
 
This bulk sage is fine-dining restaurant quality, so it is fresher and higher quality than the fresh herbs found in most grocery stores.
 
Applications: Because whole sage leaves can be rather potent, they are often finely shredded or diced prior to use outside of marinades.
 
Besides the meats listed above, ingredients commonly paired with sage include: tomatoes, veal liver, eggplant, mutton, white beans, squash (butternut & pumpkin) and nutmeg.
 
Sage is a great addition to homemade sausage recipes, and is a major element in the flavor of most American breakfast sausage. Whole sage leaves are often deep fried until crisp or sautéed in butter for use as a garnish or inclusion in gnocchi and pasta dishes.
 
An example of a dish showcasing the flavor of fresh sage is Saltimbocca (an Italian word translating to “jump in the mouth,” a reference to the flavor of the whole sage leaves used). Saltimbocca is a dish where chicken or veal cutlets are pounded thin, layered on one side with whole sage leaves and prosciutto, and dipped in seasoned flour before being pan fried. The dish is usually finished with a white wine & cream or crème fraiche-based pan sauce.
 
How to Store and Share: Stored in a zip top bag in your refrigerator crisper, sage will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
 
For long term storage of sage, we recommend drying it. Home-dried sage, will be much more flavorful than what’s for sale in most grocery stores. Remove the leaves from the stalks and dry them in direct sunlight in a single layer in a shallow box, tossing daily, until they crisp up.
 
Specifications: Fresh bulk sage arrives freshly cut and cleaned (though we still recommend washing before use) in a large plastic bag within the shipping box.
 
Shipping Method: Fedex Overnight
