What Is Herbs de Provence?
Herb is the Word
In a perfect world, we would snap our fingers and be transported to the beautiful south of France to breathe in the lavender fields, explore the villages, and of course, search for a meal seasoned with Herbs de Provence. Luckily, our RawSpiceBar Herbs de Provence lets you enjoy the aromatic combination of thyme, fennel, rosemary, marjoram, savory, tarragon, basil, chervil, mint, and lavender right in your kitchen. But just how did such a unique blend come to be? We’re glad you asked.
A Rocky History
If you look at its origin, you will find that Herbs de Provence had a rocky start. Literally. Thriving in rocky soil, Herbs de Provence not only dodges root rot, but enjoys enhanced flavors thanks to the soil increasing the volatile oils in the herbs. This means that Herbs de Provence spice blends will be delectable and fragrant every time.
A Superb Herb
One of the great things about Herbs de Provence is that you can get as traditional or creative with it as you wish. From our savory, juicy Provençal Chicken with Summer Vegetables to our fresh Peach and Mozzarella Salad, the cuisine opportunities are endless. You can even sprinkle it onto your grill’s coals to smoke your proteins or vegetables for a new level of Provençal flavor.
