italian herbs

Italian herbs and seasonings are used to flavor pasta sauces, pizza, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, bruschetta and other savory dishes. Many mixes are also recommended for marinades, sauces and dips.

If refrigerated, lightly dried basil will stay fresh for up to 4 weeks after opening.

Lightly dried basil is described as chopped and ready to use with no prep. Because it’s only lightly dried it refreshes during cooking and is best added toward the end for a garden-fresh flavor.

Typical Italian seasoning blends include basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram and sage.

Italian herbs and seasonings are sold in several forms: ground (powdered), flakes, dried whole or broken leaves, and pre-chopped basil.

Italian seasoning is suggested for a variety of dishes, including fish and seafood, garlic bread, salad dressings and pasta salad, garlic butter, meatballs, grilled or roasted meats and vegetables, bruschetta, and chicken.
