Hand blended from basil, thyme, marjoram, chervil, rosemary and lavender .Helpful Hints
This is an almost magical blend as the cooking brings out of the flavor of these herbs making them an almost perfect partnership where the sum of the herbs is much better than the individual parts. Herbs de Provence should be added to foods before or fairly early in the cooking process to best infuse its flavor into your dish. Experienced French cooks very rarely added after cooking is complete.For best results we like to mix with olive oil before adding to a dish. Add a pinch or two to hot coals when grilling and you’ll find your meat and vegetables pick up a noticeably subtle smoky flavor.
