Summer savory is a vibrant herb made from dried leaves of the savoury plant. It adds an earthy depth to your recipes, complemented by a subtle minty note.

What is it?

Summer savoury is collected from savory plants (Satureja hortensis) sourced from a family farm in the pristine Transylvanian countryside. The fresh leaves are gently dried over a traditional wood fire to concentrate their natural goodness.

The result is a unique seasoning with a warm, peppery bite and refreshing hints of thyme and oregano.

This artisan herb is free of artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives, and is made with non-GMO plants.

How to use it?

More robust and assertive than many other dried herbs, summer savoury holds up well during cooking; just a pinch can transform your recipes. Its flavour blooms beautifully when heated in oil or fat.

• Add it directly to soups and stews to enhance their depth.
• Traditionally known as the “bean herb,” it pairs perfectly with bean and lentil dishes.
• Use it to season meat stuffing, herb sausages, and pâtés for an aromatic boost.
• Create your own Provençal blend by combining it with thyme, rosemary, and oregano.
• Sprinkle it over roasted vegetables, particularly potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms, for a gourmet twist.
• Mix it into bread dough or press it into a focaccia flatbread with olive oil for a fragrant crust.

Health benefits

• Savory may help reduce bloating and improve digestion, making it perfect for hearty meals made with pulses.
• The leaves are rich in antioxidants that may reduce low-level inflammation in the body, and their natural antimicrobial properties can support your immune system with regular consumption.

Transylvanian Herb Garden

The family farm cultivates over 100 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices in their one-hectare garden on the outskirts of the scenic village of Szentábrahám, in the heart of Transylvania. The plants are grown without the use of artificial pesticides.

The life of the garden begins each autumn when they harvest their own seeds for the next year’s crops. These seeds are then planted in the spring and lovingly nurtured, with careful hand-weeding. The harvest is also carried out manually, ensuring that only the finest produce is collected after it has ripened under the summer sunshine.

The herbs are expertly dried over wood fire using traditional methods, and they are packed right on the farm, ensuring their guaranteed provenance.
