Tarragon: Delicate, Aromatic, Distinctly Elegant

The anise-sweet herb that elevates classic sauces.

DELICATE LEAF, ELEGANT FLAVOR

Tarragon, the Herb That Elevates

Tarragon brings a delicate, anise-sweet flavor prized in classic French sauces, dressings, and roasted dishes. Its slender green leaves are best used fresh, where their subtle licorice-like aroma comes through most clearly. At Latin Specialties, we handle our tarragon with care to preserve its aroma and color from harvest through delivery.

Delicate, aromatic, and distinctly elegant—tarragon elevates the dishes it touches.
