Herbaria Organic Mediterranean Breadcrumbs

These breadcrumbs are produced by hand in Bavaria without added enzymes. They are seasoned with a clever herb and spice mixture.

The Mediterranean breadcrumbs can be used for many dishes: fish, meat, vegetables, tofu or cheese. They make a beautifully crisp breading, salad, pasta or antipasti. Also perfect for stuffed vegetables and crumbled feta.
