McCormick Culinary Freeze-Dried Chives, 1.35 oz – Versatile Gourmet Garnish

Bright, Consistent Flavor in a Ready-to-Use Bottle

McCormick Culinary Freeze-Dried Chives deliver a crisp, mild onion note with a cheerful green hue that brightens a wide range of dishes. Freeze-drying locks in aroma and color, helping professional kitchens maintain consistent flavor profiles from first service to last. Each bottle reflects careful growing, harvesting, and drying practices, designed to support reliable performance in busy back-of-house environments.

Built for efficiency, the 1.35-ounce container is sized for back-of-house use and easy stock management. The split-top lid lets you shake or pour with control, eliminating prep time and the need for chopping. This makes it a practical garnish or seasoning option for mealtime rushes, plated courses, and tasting menus alike.

The chives’ delicate profile blends nicely with a wide spectrum of dishes, from delicate eggs to heartier fish and soups, as well as salads and savory breads. Their milder character pairs well with citrus, herbs, and cheese, offering a subtle upgrade rather than a dominant flavor. The blend of flavor and color supports both culinary style and visual appeal on plated items.

Practical ideas to explore in your kitchen this week:

• Finish roasted potatoes with a light dusting for color and aroma.
• Garnish egg dishes, soups, and salads to add brightness without overpowering other ingredients.
• Incorporate into breads or scones for a gentle onion-note and green specks of color.
