Summary

Herbes de Provence transports you straight to the sun-drenched fields of southern France with just a sprinkle.

History

Originally, each household in southern France might have had its own version of this herb blend, reflecting the local flora and personal taste. This regional variability is what makes Herbes de Provence a fascinating study in culinary history. The blend as we know it today was popularized in the 1970s, but its roots go much deeper, with each herb having its own backstory of medicinal and culinary uses throughout European history.

Why We Love It

We adore Herbes de Provence for its versatility and the effortless sophistication it brings to any dish. It's our go-to for elevating simple roasted vegetables or a plain roast chicken into something special. The blend's aromatic profile also makes it perfect for infusing into oils or vinegars, creating a base for a stunning salad dressing or marinade. Its ability to complement a wide range of dishes from soups to stews to baked goods means it's a constant presence in our pantry.

The More You Know

Discover how a pinch of lavender adds a touch of citrus, mint, and floral notes to your dishes, reminiscent of Provence's lavender fields.

Our blend keeps it classic and does not feature lavender, but you can always add a pinch yourself — about 1 tsp per 1/2 cup.
