Dried sage

Description

Dried sage is obtained from the leaves of Salvia officinalis. Sage is known for its intense, slightly spicy, and bitter flavor, as well as its characteristic aroma, making it one of the most widely used aromatic herbs in Mediterranean and international cuisine.

In cooking, dried sage is widely used to enhance rich and flavorful dishes. It is a key ingredient in traditional recipes such as saltimbocca alla romana, where it complements meats like veal, pork, and poultry. It pairs perfectly with butter-based dishes, such as pasta with butter and sage, or with legumes, sauces, and soups. Dried sage is also ideal for flavoring stuffing, omelets, and roasted vegetables, thanks to its ability to withstand prolonged cooking.
