What Is Herbes de Provence?

Herbes de Provence is a French herb blend associated with the cooking traditions of Provence in southeastern France.

Recipes can vary, but the blend typically brings together aromatic herbs that complement poultry, meat, seafood, vegetables, potatoes, soups, stews, and sauces.

The French Longhorn Herbes de Provence combines organic thyme, organic marjoram, organic rosemary, organic ground summer savory, organic oregano, and organic tarragon.

The result is a balanced, salt-free herb blend that makes it easy to add French-inspired flavor to everyday meals.

What Makes Our Herbes de Provence Different?

The French Longhorn Herbes de Provence is made entirely from six individually identified organic herbs.

• Organic thyme
• Organic marjoram
• Organic rosemary
• Organic ground summer savory
• Organic oregano
• Organic tarragon
• No added salt
• No anti-caking agents
• No preservatives
• No unnecessary fillers
• No vague ingredient descriptions

Every ingredient contributes directly to the aroma and flavor of the blend.

The inclusion of summer savory and tarragon gives the seasoning additional complexity and helps distinguish it from simpler herb mixtures containing only thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

The finished Herbes de Provence is not certified organic. Each herb marked with an asterisk in the ingredient list is organic.

A Salt-Free French Herb Blend

The French Longhorn Herbes de Provence contains no added salt.

This allows you to control the salt level of your recipe separately while using the seasoning to build aroma, depth, and herbal character.

A salt-free blend is especially versatile because it can be used generously on vegetables, poultry, meat, seafood, potatoes, soups, and grain dishes without automatically increasing the amount of salt in the meal.

How to Use Herbes de Provence

For Chicken and Turkey

Coat the poultry lightly with olive oil and season with Herbes de Provence before roasting, grilling, baking, pan-searing, or air-frying.

Start with approximately 1 to 2 teaspoons per pound, then adjust according to your preferred flavor intensity. Add salt separately as desired.

For Pork, Lamb, or Beef

Combine Herbes de Provence with olive oil and apply it to the meat before cooking. The herbs work especially well with roasted pork, grilled lamb, steak, and slow-cooked meat dishes.

For Fish and Seafood

Sprinkle lightly over salmon, white fish, shrimp, or scallops before baking, grilling, or pan-searing.

Combine with olive oil, melted butter, or lemon juice for an easy herb coating.

For Roasted Vegetables and Potatoes

Toss vegetables or potatoes with olive oil and Herbes de Provence before roasting.

Start with approximately 1 tablespoon per pound of vegetables or potatoes and adjust to taste. Add salt separately if desired.

For Soups and Stews

Add Herbes de Provence during cooking so the dried herbs have time to soften and release their flavor throughout the dish.

Begin with a small amount, taste as the dish develops, and add more if needed.

For Salad Dressings and Marinades

Combine Herbes de Provence with olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice, garlic, and salt to create a simple French-inspired dressing or marinade.

For Herb Butter

Mix approximately 1 teaspoon with softened unsalted butter. Taste and adjust as desired.

Use the finished herb butter with:

• Chicken
• Steak
• Seafood
• Vegetables
• Potatoes
• Bread

When Should You Add Herbes de Provence?

Herbes de Provence works well when added before cooking because sturdy herbs such as thyme and rosemary benefit from time, heat, and moisture.

For roasted, grilled, or baked foods, apply the blend before cooking so the herbs can develop with the dish.

For soups, stews, sauces, and braises, add the seasoning during cooking.

Herbes de Provence can also be used as a finishing seasoning, but crushing the herbs gently between your fingers before adding them can help release more aroma.

Herbes de Provence Versus Italian Seasoning

Herbes de Provence and Italian seasoning may share ingredients such as thyme, oregano, rosemary, and marjoram, but they are not identical.

The French Longhorn Herbes de Provence includes summer savory and tarragon, creating a distinctly aromatic profile inspired by French cooking.

Italian seasoning may place greater emphasis on herbs such as basil, oregano, and thyme, depending on the recipe or brand.

Herbes de Provence can be used instead of Italian seasoning when you want a more French-inspired herb profile. Because herb blends vary, begin with a modest amount and adjust to taste.

French Flavor for Everyday American Cooking

You do not need to prepare an elaborate French recipe to use Herbes de Provence.

Its balanced herb profile works naturally with familiar American meals, including:

• Weeknight roast chicken
• Thanksgiving turkey
• Grilled pork chops
• Roasted potatoes
• Sheet-pan vegetables
• Grilled salmon
• Shrimp
• Rice bowls
• Soups
• Egg dishes
• Homemade bread

Because the blend contains no salt, you can use the herbs to build flavor while controlling the seasoning of the final dish separately.
