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