This blend’s popularity began in the 1970s when commercialized in Provence, France, but exploded thanks to Julia Child’s endorsement in American cooking. Now a top herb mix in the US and Europe, it’s used in over 20% of Mediterranean-inspired recipes worldwide. In the UK, it’s a pantry essential, driven by travel and food shows.

Rooted in Provence’s rural traditions, it draws from medieval French herbal lore, with summer-savory’s aphrodisiac fame and sage’s healing properties. It symbolizes Provençal life, influencing Italian and Spanish herb mixes through shared Mediterranean heritage. In modern culture, it’s tied to French bistros and global farm-to-table movements.
