…Incorporating Herbs de Provence into your recipes can take your dishes to new heights. The fragrant blend typically includes herbs such as lavender, thyme, rosemary, savory, marjoram, and oregano – each contributing its own unique essence to create a harmonious flavor combination.
Type of Lavender
This is one of the exceptions where a Lavandin may be incorporated. After all the variety, “Provence,” is a Lavandin. I do not recommend any other Lavandin. Some use Phenomenal but it is bitter. Any English Lavender would work, however, the variety Folgate is recommended for it’s peppery flavor profile.
