Organic savory | rubbed | 3-5 mm

What is it about / Product description

Biova organic summer savory comes from the sunny mountain regions of Albania and is gently rubbed, resulting in fine green leaves of around 3–5 mm. This Mediterranean herb gives stews, pulses and vegetables a hearty, spicy, slightly peppery note.

The organic quality stands for cultivation according to strict ecological guidelines and careful processing without synthetic additives. As fine, flaky bulk goods, this summer savory is optimally tailored to the requirements of professional kitchens, gastronomy and artisan producers.

In everyday cooking, organic summer savory is a perfect match for beans, lentils, potatoes, vegetable stir-fries and hearty sauces. Thanks to its rubbed form, the herb can be added directly from the unit to pot or pan and distributes evenly throughout the dish.

Origin

The summer savory comes from Albania, a Balkan region with a sunny, rather dry climate and mineral-rich soils. These conditions promote an intense aroma, a rich green colour and consistent quality in the batches selected for Biova.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The organic summer savory is grown according to certified organic guidelines and harvested at the peak of its aroma. The shoots are then gently dried before the leaves are rubbed, sieved to 3–5 mm and, as loose bulk goods for Biova, cleaned and packed.

Special features

Characteristic are the uniform green colour and the fine / flaky structure, which allows precise dosing. Compared to whole sprigs, rubbed summer savory is ready to use immediately, distributes evenly in the dish and is ideal for large-scale users.

Differences in origin and processing

Summer savory from Balkan regions such as Albania is known for its strong, spicy profile and differs from milder Central European qualities. Gentle drying and precise rubbing ensure a high content of essential oils and make Biova bulk goods particularly aromatic.

Taste & aroma

On the nose, the herb is aromatic, spicy and slightly resinous, with hints of thyme and pepper. On the palate it is strong, hearty and delicately bitter, rounding off pulses and hearty dishes and giving them a typical Mediterranean note.

• For seasoning bean, lentil and pea stews as well as hearty soups in kitchens and gastronomy
