Herrmann Kräuter

Thai basil

Originally from Iran and India, basil is nowadays mainly associated with Italian cuisine. Thai basil has a much sweeter taste than its conventional relative and can have a pleasant liquorice note. It can be used both as a decoration and as a main component, such as in pesto Genovese.

Inspirations for alternative preparations:

Fish curry / Thai beef salad / papaya salad

Parsley, chives and dill: these are the roots of Herrmann from Neuss and they date back to 1946, when Willi Herrmann Senior founded the company. His grandson Willi, who already manages our family business in the 3rd generation, exclusively focused it on herb cultivation at the end of the 1980s. Since then, we have stood for fresh, fine cut herbs and cresses. And for natural enjoyment.

Today, our family business sees itself as a modern gardening and packaging company that our customers can rely on. In the meantime, around 200 tons of freshly cut herbs leave our cold stores every week, on schedule, to prove their good taste to major customers, in the gastronomy sector or to the end consumer. The majority comes from our own open-air areas and from our greenhouses. In order to guarantee consistently high quality, we also rely on certified partner companies in the south during the cold months, some of whom exclusively grow the best herbs for us.
