Herbes de Provence | Local Herb From Provence, France | TasteAtlas

Herbes de Provence

This world-famous blend of herbs and spices originated in France’s region of Provence, and contains ingredients such as lavender, basil, oregano, fennel, dill, rosemary, thyme, bay leaf, and sage. Herbes de Provence are traditionally sold in small clay pots.


The mixture is commonly used as a rub or seasoning for various meat dishes, especially for grilled meats, and it can also be used as a seasoning in soups or stews. When cooked, the herbs soften and release their natural, aromatic flavors. Although these herbs have been used in various combinations in Provence for centuries, the blend that's known today as Herbes de Provence has been marketed under this name since the 1970s.
