A Taste of Italy Spice Set

Classic Herb & Spice Collection

Embrace the rustic elegance of Italian cuisine with this essential collection of aromatic herbs that define la cucina italiana, from sun-drenched Tuscan hillsides to the bustling trattorias of Rome and the coastal flavors of the Amalfi Coast.

Basil

The soul of Italian cooking, sweet basil's anise-like flavor is essential for pesto, Caprese salad, and tomato sauces. It brings fresh, aromatic brightness to pasta dishes, pizzas, and pairs beautifully with mozzarella and olive oil.

Garlic

Italy's most beloved aromatic, granulated garlic provides mellow, savory depth to marinades, pasta sauces, and seasoning blends. It disperses evenly in Italian dressings, aglio e olio and bruschetta toppings without the texture of fresh garlic.

Sage

This earthy herb with a savory complexity is quintessential in northern Italian cuisine. It transforms brown butter sauces for pasta and gnocchi, enhances veal and adds depth to roasted meats and white bean dishes.

Rosemary

With its pine-like aroma and woody, citrus notes, rosemary is essential for roasted meats, focaccia, and grilled vegetables. This robust herb infuses olive oil beautifully and stands up to high-heat cooking in traditional Italian roasts and stews.

Thyme

This delicate herb with earthy notes, enhances slow-cooked Italian stews, braises, and tomato-based sauces. Essential in osso buco, it adds complexity to ragu Bolognese & pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables and white wine reductions.

Oregano

Bold and pungent with peppery, earthy notes, it is the defining herb of southern Italian cooking. Indispensable for pizza, marinara sauce, and Italian sausage, bringing robust flavour to everything from arrabbiata to grilled seafood.

Blend these six herbs and spices together and you've got yourself a potent and flavourful Italian seasoning mix to add to your favourite pasta and pizza sauces, or sprinkled over your chicken or prime rib before roasting it.
