Herbs de Provence France

French Mixed Herbs — aromatic Mediterranean blend

Herbes de Provence is a fragrant Mediterranean blend perfect for everyday cooking. This Orlandosidee mix combines basil, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, lavender, spearmint and thyme for a balanced bouquet that loves poultry, vegetables, soups and dressings.

• Blend type: dried herb mix (no salt added)
• Profile: savory, piney rosemary-thyme backbone with soft floral (lavender) and cool mint notes
• Best for: chicken, roasted vegetables, grilled fish, soups, marinades, vinaigrettes

Aroma & Taste

Warm, herbaceous and sun-lit: rosemary and thyme give structure, oregano and marjoram add savory depth, basil lifts the top notes, lavender brings a gentle floral whisper, and spearmint adds freshness.

Culinary Uses

• Poultry & meat: rub onto chicken or pork with olive oil and lemon; great for rotisserie or sheet-pan roasts.
• Fish & seafood: sprinkle on white fish before grilling; finish with lemon zest.
• Vegetables: toss with potatoes, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant or peppers before roasting.
• Soups & stews: add early for depth; finish with a pinch off-heat for brightness.
• Dressings & marinades: whisk into vinaigrettes; blend with yogurt or crème fraîche for dips.

How to Use

• Bloom in fat: warm briefly in olive oil/butter (10–20 s) to release aroma, then add liquid.
• Timing: add most early in long cooks; reserve a final pinch to finish.
• Grind size: use as-is for rustic texture or crush between fingers for finer dispersion.

FAQ

Is lavender always included?
Blends vary by producer; this mix does include lavender for a subtle floral note.

Can I replace “Italian seasoning” with Herbes de Provence?
Often—expect a more Provence-style profile (lavender/mint notes). Start with 3/4 the amount and adjust.

Does the blend contain salt?
No—pure herbs only. Season with salt to taste.
