Herbs De Provence

Herbs de Provence is a fragrant blend of dried herbs, typically including thyme, rosemary, oregano, savory, and marjoram. It embodies the sunny, herbaceous flavors of the South of France. The appearance is a mix of green and grey-green dried leaves and stems. This versatile blend imparts a warm, slightly peppery, and earthy flavor to dishes, making it a staple in Mediterranean-inspired cooking. Looking to add an authentic taste of the French countryside? Herbs de Provence is your go-to seasoning for enhancing both savory and aromatic dishes.

Common Uses

  • Use Herbs de Provence to season roasted meats like chicken, lamb, and pork. Simply rub the herb mixture onto the meat before roasting for a flavorful crust and aromatic experience.
  • Sprinkle Herbs de Provence over roasted vegetables such as potatoes, zucchini, and bell peppers to elevate their natural flavors with a touch of Provençal warmth.
  • Infuse olive oil with Herbs de Provence to create a flavorful dipping oil for bread or a base for salad dressings. Heat the oil gently with the herbs, then let it cool and steep before using.
  • Add Herbs de Provence to soups and stews during cooking to impart a complex, savory depth. The herbs will release their essential oils, enriching the broth with aromatic notes.
