Savory

What are the benefits of savory in infusions?

In the Lamiaceae family, I ask for savory! Traditionally used for its digestive benefits, it is also considered an excellent tonic.

Its mission? Leave fatigue in the locker room! This is why athletes love it: before exercise, it allows them to concentrate, and afterwards, it helps them get back on their feet.

In ancient times, its stimulating (even aphrodisiac) effect made it a cursed plant! This "Devil's plant," as some nicknamed it, was even expelled from monasteries. That's saying something!

What savory is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?

The savory used by our marmots is harvested in the Drôme.

This perennial plant, which resembles a small shrub, can reach up to 50 cm in height, with rather stiff stems, has a weakness for sun and well-drained soils.

Looking at it a little more closely, we notice that its leaves are slightly hairy on the edges and particularly fragrant.

Picked as soon as the fine weather arrives, they will keep their intense fragrance once dried.

In which recipes do our master infusers use savory?

Savory is used in our Lemon-Ginger infusion.

Its fresh notes blend perfectly with the ardor of black pepper and the spiciness of ginger.

At the risk of disappointing you, this is currently the only recipe that features savory in its bouquet. But our master infusers are on the case! Rome wasn't built in a day... A savory recipe either!
