Savory is a versatile herb with a flavor similar to oregano, thyme and marjoram. This variety is a bit lighter and easier to use than the winter savory most folks are accustomed to. Grown by Julie at Red Wagon Plants, whose masterful growing and culinary skills shine in the outstanding flavor and quality of her herbs.

I had never have summer savory before and was surprised it had quite a kick to it. I put it in a rigatoni with butternut squash sauce and it dded a nice touch to a fairly bland dish. I also put it in some braised beet greens and in my squash soup. In the soup, the spice mellowed but the flavor was still interesting and a bit different than oregano or thyme. The size of bag was really large, and I am now going to look at ways to dry it!
