Pot herbs are a more recent edition to the culinary herb portfolio and have established a successful market of their own. Imported herbs out of the British season are brought in from many areas of the world and the strict legislative standards set by the retailers have ensured a top quality product. The culinary herb sector is one of major importance to the food market as a whole and sub-sectors include – culinary for the multiples, market produce, processed (washed / chopped), frozen and blended (pesto’s / pastes). Each of these sectors relies heavily on the quality and safety of its products, and the BHTA is there to help maintain these standards.
