Why Choose the 60g Italian Herb Seasoning?

A larger pack for regular cooks
Ideal if Italian-style herbs are something you use several times a week.

Multiple herbs already balanced together
Basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme each bring a different layer of flavour.

One seasoning for countless weeknight meals
Pasta, chicken, vegetables and pizza can all use the same blend in completely different ways.

Works before, during or after cooking
Use it in marinades, simmer it into sauces or sprinkle lightly over finished food.

A useful shortcut without relying on a ready-made sauce
You still choose all the fresh ingredients. The herbs simply make seasoning easier.

What Does Italian Herb Seasoning Taste Like?

The blend is aromatic, herbaceous, earthy and gently sweet, with different notes appearing depending on the dish.

Basil contributes a sweet peppery character.

Oregano provides the more robust earthy flavour strongly associated with pizza and tomato dishes.

Rosemary adds pine-like depth.

Thyme rounds everything out with gentle earthiness.

Together they create a herb mixture versatile enough to become an everyday savoury seasoning rather than something reserved for one cuisine.

How to Use Italian Herb Seasoning

Tomato Pasta Sauce

Add directly to tomatoes, onion and garlic and allow the herbs to simmer.

Use the finished sauce for:

Pasta
Lasagne
Meatballs
Pizza

Roast Chicken

Mix Italian Herbs with:

Olive oil
Lemon
Garlic
Salt and pepper

Rub over a whole chicken or individual pieces before roasting.

Pizza

Add to homemade pizza sauce or sprinkle directly over the toppings.

Grilled Meat

Use in marinades for:

Chicken
Lamb
Beef

alongside olive oil, lemon or vinegar.

Fish

Combine with olive oil and lemon and use lightly on fish before baking or grilling.

Roast Vegetables

Toss with potatoes, zucchini, capsicum, tomatoes, cauliflower or eggplant before roasting.

One Blend Instead of Four Herb Jars

Italian-inspired recipes commonly call for combinations of:

Basil
Oregano
Rosemary
Thyme

Keeping them individually is useful when a recipe needs one herb to dominate.

But for everyday cooking, you often want a bit of everything.

That's where a ready blend makes sense.

Instead of:

Opening four packets.

Measuring four herbs.

Putting four packets away again.

You reach for one.

When Should You Add the Herbs?

Early in Cooking

Add to:

Tomato sauces
Soups
Stews

where the herbs have time to soften and infuse.

Before Cooking

Use in:

Marinades
Roast vegetables
Meat rubs

so the herbs cook directly onto the food.

At the End

Add a smaller amount as a finishing seasoning when you want the aroma to remain more noticeable.

There isn't one correct method.

It depends on the result you're after.

Try It This Way

For a simple Mediterranean-style chicken tray bake, combine:

Chicken thighs
Potatoes
Zucchini
Capsicum
Cherry tomatoes

Add:

Olive oil
Italian Herb Seasoning
Garlic
Lemon
Salt and pepper

Toss everything together and roast until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are golden.

One tray and one herb blend can do most of the flavour work.

Make Easy Focaccia

Italian Herbs are particularly good in bread because the herbs flavour both the dough and the olive oil on top.

Add some to your focaccia dough.

Then sprinkle more over the surface with:

Olive oil
Garlic
Sea salt

before baking.

You can also use the same approach on flatbreads, pizza dough or savoury rolls.

Make an Italian Herb Dressing

Combine:

Olive oil
Lemon juice or vinegar
Italian Herb Seasoning
Garlic
Salt and pepper

Shake or whisk well.

Use over:

• Green salads
• Tomato salad
• Pasta salad
• Roasted vegetables
• Grain bowls

The dried herbs soften as they sit in the dressing.

Turn It into a Quick Dip

Stir Italian Herb Seasoning into:

Greek yoghurt
Sour cream
Mayonnaise

with a little garlic and lemon.

Allow the mixture to stand so the dried herbs rehydrate.

Serve with:

Crackers
Vegetable sticks
Potato wedges
Grilled chicken
