The two terms – heirloom and heritage – are interchangeable, heritage being the more colloquial British term and heirloom being the more globally recognised term and the term more often used by chefs. An heirloom variety should have a history of 50 years or more. If it is a product of more recent breeding, it is called a modern heirloom. Take a look at our blog HERE to find out more.
