Sage

Savory is an aromatic plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, known for its intense and slightly spicy flavor, with nuances similar to oregano and thyme. It is highly valued in Mediterranean and traditional cuisine for seasoning meats, stews, soups, and sauces, providing a characteristic and aromatic touch.

Native to Europe and Western Asia, savory has been cultivated since ancient times for its culinary and medicinal properties. In gastronomy, its fresh or dried leaves are primarily used, which release a penetrating aroma that enhances dishes.

Properties: In addition to its culinary use, savory contains antioxidant compounds and has digestive and antimicrobial properties, making it a natural ally for improving digestion and preserving food.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Although the most common name is ajedrea, in some regions it is also known as sajolida or simply hierba de ajedrea. It is important to note that these names may vary, and in some places its use is not as common, so it is recommended to look for it as savory in spice stores or herbal shops.
