Fines Herbs vs Herbes de Provence

Many people ask the question, what is the difference between Fines Herbs and Herbes de Provence. The answer is simple, the ingredients, the taste, and the location from where the come.

The ingredients in Fines Herbs are as mentioned above: parsley, chervil, tarragon and chives. The last three ingredients give Fines Herbs it's distinct favlor. Chervin and chives come from the onion family, but with a lighter, let pungent attack. Leaving a delicious and delicate onion flavor. Tarragon, similar to the chervil and chives, brings a light anise flavor, not overpowering, but a delicious dimension and umami.

Herbes de Provence are cultivated in Southern France using herbs from the region. This part of France tends to be sunnier and warmer throughout the year, yielding a bit heartier herbs and ingredients. Herbes de Provence are generally comprised of a mix of thyme, savory, oregano, rosemary, and at MarnaMaria we add little bit of French lavender as well!

With completely different herbs in Herbes de Provence, the flavor profiles are quite a bit different.
