herbes de provence

Herbes de Provence is primarily green with hints of gray from the herbs. The presence of lavender flowers adds small pops of color. The texture is slightly coarse, a mix of finely chopped and whole leaf herbs.

This classic blend presents a strong, earthy scent, where the pungent aromas of rosemary and savory take center stage. Oregano and basil add spicy and sweet undertones, respectively, with the lavender providing a fresh, slightly camphor-like backdrop. The overall scent is robust, invoking images of Provencal countryside kitchens.

Its flavor is bold, herbal flavor profile with a slightly peppery kick. The combination of thyme, savory, and rosemary contributes a hearty earthiness, while the basil brings a mild sweetness, balancing the stronger, more pungent flavors. The lavender’s floral note is more muted compared to the "Florale" blend, providing depth without dominating the taste.

• Roasted Meats: Particularly good with lamb or beef, the herbs can create a flavorful crust or aromatic marinade.


• Grilled Vegetables: The herbal mix enhances the natural sweetness of vegetables, perfect for a smoky, charred preparation.


• Soups and Stews: Adding the blend early in the cooking process allows the complex flavors to meld beautifully, deepening the dish's overall flavor.


• Sauces and Marinades: The blend can be incorporated into sauces and marinades for meats or vegetables, adding a Mediterranean flair.


• Bread and Pizza: A sprinkle in dough adds a savory twist to homemade bread or pizza crust.
