Frequently asked questions
What makes this Herbes de Provence blend "authentic" compared to grocery store versions?
True authenticity lies in the balance of the five traditional herbs: thyme, rosemary, basil, savory, and marjoram. Many generic brands use fillers or incorrect ratios. Our blend is sourced directly from France, ensuring the high essential oil content required for that signature Mediterranean flavor.
What types of dishes pair best with this Herbs de Provence Mix?
This blend is incredibly versatile. It is the gold standard for slow-cooked stews, pot roasts, and ratatouille and is ideal on grilled red and white meats and roasted poultry. It also adds a gourmet touch to vegetable gratins, omelets, salad dressings, and even homemade bread or focaccia.
When is the best time to add Herbes de Provence during cooking?
For the best results, add a pinch of these herbs early in the cooking process. When added to a pan, pot, or onto a barbecue early on, the heat allows the essential oils in the dried herbs to infuse into your oils and meats, creating a deeper Mediterranean flavor profile.
Can I use this herb mix as a dry rub for BBQ?
Absolutely. Because our mix is finely ground and salt-free, it makes an excellent base for a dry rub. You can apply it directly to steaks, pork filets, or chicken before grilling to create a flavorful, aromatic crust.
How do I make a gourmet vinaigrette using Provence Herbs?
To unlock the full flavor, whisk 1 teaspoon of our Provence Herbs with extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar. Let the dressing sit for 15 minutes before serving; this "blooms" the dried herbs, allowing them to rehydrate and distribute their scent throughout the dressing.
What is the difference between Herbes de Provence with and without lavender?
The traditional culinary recipe used in French kitchens usually omits lavender to prevent a “floral” taste in savory dishes. Nevertheless, the Provence herbs blend with lavender is very popular, especially in stews, omelets and vinaigrettes, where it adds depth and a more complex flavor.
