Savory Selected For Flavor Pairing Ideas - Mike's Food Blog Tools

Savory

Satureja is a genus of aromatic plants of the family Lamiaceae, related to rosemary and thyme. It is native to North Africa, southern + southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. A few New World species were formerly included in Satureja, but they have all been moved to other genera. Several species are cultivated as culinary herbs and they have become established in the wild in a few places. Summer savory is used in Romanian cuisine, especially in sarmale (stuffed cabbage or grape leaf rolls).
