Italian seasoning
Herb blend
Italian seasoning is a blend of ground herbs that primarily includes basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, and marjoram as its base. Many Italian seasoning blends may also include some of the following spices: garlic powder, parsley, crushed red pepper, sage, savory, or coriander. The blend varies by brand, with many publishing vague, nonspecific ingredient lists.
Despite the name, it is an American creation;[1] pre-blended, dry herbs are not common in Italy. However, salamoia Bolognese consists of rosemary, sage, garlic, salt, and black pepper.[2]
Flavor descriptions
This list represents a general mix for Italian seasoning.
- Basil: Has a slightly spicy, fresh and sweet taste. It also offers an aromatic experience.[3]
- Oregano: Has an earthy, bitter flavor with a pungent smell.[4]
- Rosemary: Rosemary can taste bitter with woodsy, pine, and citrus notes. Rosemary also has a very green, earthy smell.[5]
- Garlic powder: Can be used as a substitute for garlic, with different, milder notes. It provides a savory flavor to the dish. [6]
- Sage: Has earthy and citrus notes with a hint of spice.[7]
