A bold, aromatic tribute to the sun-soaked hills of the Mediterranean. Our Rustic Blend strips away the floral notes to focus on the deep, earthy harmony of savory, thyme, and rosemary, punctuated by the sweet, anise-like warmth of fennel. This is the "everything" herb mix—robust enough for a Sunday roast, yet refined enough for a delicate vinaigrette.
Herbes de Provence - NO Lavender
Culinary Applications
The Ultimate Steak Rub: Because you've removed the floral notes, this blend is now incredible on red meat. Mix with cracked black pepper and kosher salt for a crusty ribeye or sirloin.
Savory Pan Sauces: Deglaze a pan with white wine and butter, then whisk in a teaspoon of this blend. It’s perfect for pork medallions or chicken thighs.
Focaccia & Savory Baking: Press the herbs into the top of olive oil-drenched focaccia dough or mix into a savory shortbread cracker.
Roasted Root Vegetables: The earthy notes of thyme and savory are the perfect match for carrots, parsnips, and beets.
Pizza & Pasta: This version is much closer to a high-end "Italian Seasoning." Sprinkle it over a Margherita pizza or into a slow-cooked marinara sauce.
