Description
Botanical Name: Satureja hortensis
Savory is an aromatic herb from the mint family, native to the Mediterranean region, where it has long been valued as a practical, everyday cooking herb. Often described as sitting somewhere between thyme, marjoram and oregano, savory delivers a gentle peppery warmth with earthy undertones that enhance rather than overpower food.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Dried Savory is carefully sourced and gently dried to preserve its natural oils and character. When crushed between the fingers, it releases a warm, herbaceous aroma that pairs especially well with legumes, vegetables and simple home style dishes.
Across Mediterranean, Italian and French cuisines, savory is traditionally used to flavour beans, cabbage and hearty vegetables, earning it the nickname “the bean herb” in some European kitchens. It is also a key component of classic herb blends such as herbes de Provence and has found a place in American cooking as a traditional seasoning for stuffings and sausages.
Origin
Savory has been cultivated for centuries across the Mediterranean basin and surrounding regions, where it became closely associated with everyday vegetable and legume based cooking.
