The warm, floral aroma of a sun-drenched French hillside enters your kitchen with this classic, salt-free country blend. Hand-blended with nine premium dried herbs, it balances the earthy depth of thyme and rosemary with the sweet, clean notes of fennel seeds and a delicate touch of lavender. This aromatic combination is designed to slow-release its flavor, making it the perfect seasoning for roasted chicken, roasted root vegetables, and simmered summer stews.

While industrial versions often overdo the lavender, turning the blend unpleasantly soapy, our recipe uses a highly restrained hand. We balance the floral lavender with savory marjoram and sweet fennel to create a harmonious blend that enhances, rather than dominates, a dish. Rubbing the dry herbs between your fingers before adding them to the pan bruised their leaves, waking up the trapped essential oils and releasing their full fragrance.

We pack our Herbs de Provence in small batches in Portland to preserve the delicate, papery leaves and volatile oils. Traditional French cooking uses this blend to flavor slow-simmered dishes like ratatouille, where the herbs melt into the olive oil and tomato juices over several hours. It contains absolutely zero salt, sugar, or preservatives, giving you the pure, botanical soul of French country cooking.

Ingredients: Thyme, Marjoram, Oregano, Savory, Lavender, Basil, Parsley Leaves, Rosemary, Fennel Seeds. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Common Questions

What is the difference between Herbs de Provence and Italian Seasoning?

While both are versatile herb blends, they have distinct flavor profiles. Italian Seasoning is highly savory and focused on basil, oregano, and marjoram, making it perfect for pasta sauces, garlic bread, and pizzas. Herbs de Provence contains French country herbs like rosemary, thyme, savory, fennel seeds, and a delicate touch of lavender, giving it a much more floral, sweet, and piney aroma suited for roasted meats and stews.

Does authentic Herbs de Provence contain lavender?

Historically, traditional herb blends used in southern France did not contain lavender, as it was considered a perfume rather than a cooking herb. However, the addition of lavender became popular internationally to capture the iconic aroma of the Provence region. We include a delicate, restrained pinch of premium lavender to provide that loved floral top-note without overpowering your savory cooking.

When should I add Herbs de Provence to a dish?

Because this blend contains woody herbs like rosemary and thyme, it is best added early or mid-way through the cooking process. Simmering or roasting the herbs alongside your ingredients gives the dry, needle-like leaves time to soften and release their fat-soluble essential oils into the dish.

How do I use this blend in everyday cooking?

It is incredibly versatile. Rub it over a whole chicken with olive oil before roasting, toss it with potatoes and olive oil for a simple side dish, stir it into a pot of summer vegetable soup, or fold it into a marinade for grilled pork or lamb.

Is this blend salt-free?

Yes. This is a completely pure, salt-free and sugar-free herb blend with nothing added.
