savory is a small, green plant that is used to add flavor to food. This aromatic herb has two main varietals used in cooking: winter savory and summer savory. Both are native to the sunny slopes of the Mediterranean region.
Summer savory. Satureja hortensis is sweet and spicy smelling herb, lighter in flavor than winter savory. Summer savory is is a delicate plant with small, light green leaves. It is one of the most popular herbs in Acadia, a region along the Atlantic coast of Canada, used in traditional dishes and holiday cooking.
Winter savory. The aromas of winter savory, satureja montana, are reminiscent of the winter season, with hints of sage and pine. It is a hardy plant, growing in rocky outcrops of the Mediterranean (thus its name, “montana,” meaning “mountain.”)
