Organic Herbs de Provence Blend
What it is
This is a carefully selected blend of dried organic herbs, traditionally used in the cuisine of Provence, a region in southeastern France. It typically includes herbs like thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and sometimes lavender. The herbs are dried to preserve their aromatic qualities and are often finely chopped for easy incorporation into dishes. This blend offers a complex and fragrant flavor profile that is characteristic of Mediterranean cooking.
How people cook with it
This versatile herb blend is perfect for adding authentic French flavor to a wide range of savory dishes. It is a staple for anyone looking to bring the taste of Provence into their kitchen.

Sprinkle this organic Herbs de Provence blend generously over your ingredients before cooking. It works exceptionally well when rubbed into meats like lamb, chicken, or pork before roasting. You can also stir it into marinades, salad dressings, or sauces. For vegetables, toss them with olive oil and the herb blend before roasting or grilling. It can also be added to bread dough or sprinkled on top of focaccia before baking. The heat of cooking helps to release the full aroma and flavor of the dried herbs.

The specific combination is designed to complement a variety of dishes, providing a distinct Provençal character that is both savory and subtly floral.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and potency of your organic Herbs de Provence, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use. Proper storage will help preserve the aromatic oils and prevent the herbs from becoming stale over time.
