Italian seasoning is an blend of ground herbs that primarily includes basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, mint, and marjoram as its base. Many Italian seasoning blends may also include some of the following spices: garlic powder, parsley, crushed red pepper, sage, savory, or coriander.
Italian seasoning is not found in Italy; [1] pre-blended, dry herb mixtures are not common in Italy. However, seasoned salts are used in Italy; salamoia bolognese consists of rosemary, sage, garlic, salt, and black pepper. [2]
