Description

Summer Savory (Satureja hortensis) is a beloved historic heirloom herb prized for its delicate, peppery foliage and warm, aromatic flavor. Forming slender, upright branching plants reaching 12 to 18 inches in height, it produces narrow, dark green leaves packed with fragrant essential oils. Known historically as the "herb of happiness," its distinctive taste combines notes of thyme, marjoram, and black pepper without overpowering subtle ingredients. Fast-growing and easy to cultivate, Summer Savory is an essential kitchen staple for seasoning beans, lentils, poultry, stews, sausages, and traditional herb blends like Herbes de Provence.
