Format

whole

Hillside herbs, slow-dried.

Oregano, thyme and rosemary dried whole-leaf in shade keep their oils. Rubbed between the palms at the pan they smell like the hillside.

Intensity 4/5

Pine and camphor, sharp enough to carry through a whole tray of roast potatoes.

Intensity 5/5

Dried over open fires, so it arrives smoky and resinous. Nothing like green cardamom despite the name — this one belongs in savoury pots.
