Herb paste is a concentrated blend of fresh herbs, often finely chopped or pureed and mixed with oil, water, or another liquid to create a smooth, flavorful condiment. The flavor profile of herb paste depends entirely on the herbs used, ranging from bright and grassy with parsley and cilantro to pungent and savory with basil and oregano. The texture is typically smooth and spreadable, and the color reflects the dominant herbs in the mixture. Herb pastes are a versatile ingredient for adding a burst of fresh, vibrant flavor to a variety of dishes. Using fresh herb paste ensures a fresher and more aromatic flavor than dried herbs.

Herb paste should always be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. Transfer the paste to an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. A thin layer of olive oil on top can help prevent oxidation and discoloration. It typically lasts for 1-2 weeks when properly refrigerated. If you need to store it for longer, consider freezing it in small portions using an ice cube tray; once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.
