Sage is best known for its fuzzy exterior & intense herbal aroma, which makes it a bold addition to any dish. Hailing from the Mediterranean, this fragrant herb has transformed from an ancient medicinal tool to a versatile ingredient in dishes ranging from hearty American stuffing’s to light Chinese herbal teas.

.

Sage has a pronounced herbal flavor that is earthy, slightly peppery taste with hints of mint, eucalyptus, & lemon. It works well in heavier dishes with rich ingredients that can hold their own against such a bold flavor.

.

Thanks to its strong flavor & aroma, sage should be added early in the cooking process, rather than at the end of cooking like many delicate herbs. Frying a strong herb like sage mellows its flavor. Fried Sage can be crumbled over a dish to heighten flavor at the last moment. Sage can also be used to add herbaceousness to Sauces, Compound Butters, Meat Marinades, Pastries, & Breads. Add Fresh Sage Leaves to Cocktails & Teas for an instant hit of Herbal Flavor.

.

In Italy, sage makes an Aromatic Addition to rich Italian Tomato Sauces & Creamy Pasta Dishes, while in France chefs use sage in Sausage Fillings & pair it with other aromatic herbs like flat-leaf parsley, summer savory, bay leaf, & sweet basil in herb bouquets, like bouquet garni. One of the best, & most common, Pairings for sage is Browned Butter, which makes for the perfect addition to indulgent Pasta Dishes or simple Chicken & Vegetable Recipes.
