Fork Facts
Herbs de Provence is a mixture of dried herbs considered typical of the Provence region of southeast France. Simply a descriptive term, commercial blends started to be sold under this name in the 1970s containing savory, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. This herb mixture is typically used with grilled foods and stews to give each dish a wonderful flavour explosion in your mouth.
