Fresh chervil is best used immediately after harvesting or purchasing, as it wilts quickly. To store it briefly, wrap the chervil in a slightly damp paper towel and place it in a plastic bag or airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last for up to 2-3 days this way. Alternatively, chervil can be frozen for longer storage. Chop the herb and place it in ice cube trays with water or oil, then freeze. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag. Dried chervil is also an option and should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place.
