Also known as Provencal herbs, this delightful mixture takes its name from Provence in southern France. Herbs grow abundantly in this region, and are used to great effect in the local cuisine. This blend is an easy way to bring the fresh, savory flavors of the south of France to your kitchen. Basil, tarragon, and chervil bring a bright sweetness, countered by the earthy notes of thyme and rosemary, while fennel and French lavender add a wonderful floral note. This blend is ideal for vegetables, especially eggplant and zucchini, and it holds up well in heartier dishes like braised rabbit or roast chicken. For a quick vinaigrette, mix 1 teaspoon with ¼ cup red wine vinegar and ½ cup olive oil. Ingredients: Basil, savory, thyme, tarragon, fennel, rosemary, oregano, dill, marjoram, chervil, lavender.

Terrific on chicken, veggies.
We usually buy Herbes de Provence on our way home from France. In normal times, that is a couple of times a year. These aren't normal times. So, with some trepidation, we ordered yours. Definitely, a quality product. The markets in Nice will have to wait.
When it comes to dried herbs it is helpful to have oregano, thyme, rosemary and sage. Some recipes call for some of these herbs, others call for all of them and more. This herb blend is my secret weapon for seasoning soups, stews, salad dressing, casseroles and any dish that requires multiple dried herbs. I even use it in the dog food I make. The puppies LOVE IT too. This herb and Back of Yard seasoning are my Screwdriver and Wrench for all my cooking.
This blend is my go to seasoning for just about everything. It is fresh and fragrant, couldn’t be better!
