Daphnis and Chloe Unique Greek Sage

More pronounced than its European counterparts, Unique Greek Sage owes its intensity in part to the arid soils of the Aegean Islands. Daphnis & Chloe sources their Greek sage from an organic farm in Crete, where the plant’s small, thick leaves are dried and processed entirely by hand.

Unique Greek Sage is so aromatic, a little goes a long way. Its earthy, herbaceous flavor works wonders with fatty meats, hearty winter vegetables and other rich dishes. Rub it over pork tenderloin, lamb shoulder or acorn squash before roasting. Add Greek sage to simmering pots of brothy beans. Grind a few leaves with salt and black pepper and use it as a finishing herb. Or steep the leaves in hot water and drink it as a tea like the locals do in Crete. 

Former journalist Evangelia Koutsovoulou established Daphnis and Chloe, a company that sources dried culinary herbs and spices, in Athens in 2013. The Mediterranean herbs are all grown and harvested in ideal geographic settings, which range from remote land in the mountains to small islands and allow the products to reach their prime. Daphnis and Chloe herbs are hand-picked and processed using non-invasive artisanal methods.
