Learn more about aromatic herbs

Aromatic herbs are an essential presence in Mediterranean cuisine: just a few gestures are enough to add fragrance, depth, and character to even the simplest dishes.

How to use dried aromatic herbs

Dried herbs have concentrated aromas and are practical for everyday use. Robust varieties, such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano, can be added at the beginning of the preparation, especially in stews, sauces, and long-cooking dishes.

Herbs with a more delicate profile can instead be added towards the end, so as to better preserve their fragrance. Before use, it is helpful to rub them lightly between your fingers, awakening their aromatic oils.

Since their flavor is more concentrated than that of fresh herbs, it is advisable to start with a smaller amount and add more only after tasting.

How to store them

To preserve their color and aroma, dried herbs must be stored in tightly sealed containers, away from light, heat, and moisture. Proper storage allows you to maintain their aromatic profile and quality for longer.
