Flat-leaf Parsley

Flat-leaf parsley is distinguished by its high concentration of apiole and chlorophyll. Its cellular membrane, relatively robust for a fresh herb, poorly resists enzymatic oxidation once chopped. To capture its green essence, modern gastronomy uses the technique of rapid blanching in boiling water (to lock in the color and destroy polyphenol oxidase) followed by an ice shock. Then blended at high velocity with a neutral oil and filtered, it yields a pure emerald green oil without any vegetal astringency.
