Summer savory is in the mint family of herbs, but don’t get it confused with peppermint. It has a mild pepper taste and vibrant, clean, spicy smell to it. It’s versatile and can help add a polite “kick” to your dishes without going overboard with the heat. Great in stews, soups, beans and casseroles. You’ll see this called for in a lot of old school German recipes because during WWII there was a shortage and people substituted summer savory for pepper back then – many still carry on the tradition today. We use it in our Montreal steak seasoning.
This is fabulous! Savory isn’t an herb I was familiar with until Pinch introduced me to it. It’s amazing in egg or potato salad — it’s like if tarragon, parsley, and pepper all got together and had a lovely, subtle-but-delicious baby.

My mother-in-law has been adding “sarriette,” French for Savory, since her early culinary training in QuĂ©bec. It’s such a subtle, yet powerful way to add flavor to so many dishes. Pinch Spice Market’s Savory is so fresh tasting, it’s like I rediscovered it all over again. It was such a brighter herb than what I’ve been able to get in grocery stores in Canada and France. I HIGHLY recommend trying Pinch Spice Market’s Summer Savory.
