These are the most intensely chive scented chives I have ever opened. I look forward to using them in my next few dishes.
Store owner replied: They have sooo much good flavor, too! We are always finding dishes to add them to. Have fun using them!

Spice 101
Chives, known for their delicate and mild onion flavor, are a staple in many kitchens due to their versatility and subtle taste enhancements. These herbs are not just a garnish; they are an integral part of dishes where a hint of onion flavor is desired without overpowering other ingredients. Chives are particularly popular in European cuisine and are often sprinkled on soups, rubbed on chicken, or mixed into herb dips for vegetables.
Chives have a rich history that dates back thousands of years. Originally found in Europe and Asia, they have been a part of the culinary landscape since ancient times. This herb was spread across Europe by the Romans and eventually made its way to the Americas with explorers and settlers. In French cuisine, they are a component of the classic 'fines herbes' blend, essential for many traditional dishes. Meanwhile, in Chinese cooking, chives are often paired with eggs or used in dumplings.
Chives add a subtle, yet unmistakable, oniony zest to dishes without the tears. They're fantastic not just as a finishing touch but as a core flavor component in everything from creamy dips to robust marinades. Whether tossed into a fresh salad or blended into a soft cheese for a spread, chives bring a bright, fresh flavor that makes every dish feel a bit more refined.
Chives are the mildest-flavored member of the allium family, which also includes onions, garlic, and leeks.
