Why This Recipe Works

Layering herbs separately preserves color and aroma.
Coarse sea salt acts as a natural preservative and flavor carrier.
Each layer releases a slightly different herbal note — making this not just seasoning, but a sensory experience.

Variations

• Use smoked salt for a deeper flavor
• Add dried citrus zest for brightness
• Make a “Winter Forest” version with pine needles & thyme
• Blend fully instead of layering for everyday use

How To Use

Sprinkle over:

  • Roasted vegetables

  • Fresh focaccia

  • Pasta & risotto

  • Garden salads

  • Buttered toast
