Summer Savory
Summer Savory
Satureja hortensis
A delicious herb, familiar from the Provence herb mix! Particularly suitable for use in soups, marinades and salads.
Savoury has a feature that is quite practical. When cooked with strongly fragrant foods such as broccoli, it helps to mask the odours.

Savory or savoury is an aromatic herb with small grey-green leaves. The flavour is warm, sharp and slightly peppery. Savoury germinates in about one week. Cut savoury for the first time when it is 6 cm tall, by cutting off the top pair of leaves.
From then on, harvest by cutting the stem just above the pair of leaves below. The plant can be cut a lot at once, as long as a few pairs of leaves remain under the cutting point. This will encourage new branches and thicker growth, producing more leaves to harvest.
