Ducros Herbes de Provence from France 100 gram bag

I am NOT from FRANCE and am NOT a francophone. I think surreder monkeys was a fair journalistic description of the French by the late great Hunter S. Thompson. Given that: This stuff tastes really great even though it is dehydrated bagged god knows how old seasoning. Add it a little early in the cooking process to avoid unwanted crunchiness and- Oui!

Found this spice on a trip to france. Love it and it in so many dishes. Ran out of it again Thouhgt I would try Amazon . to my delight they did and the price was similar to Paris. Highly recommend this brand wine it is the one available in grocery stores in Europe. Try it and you will use it in all types of recipex

I love this blend sprinkled in my soup. It can be used in many dished to brighten it up.

I use this on my steaks. I am running low and went to re order. I saw that I had last purchased this in August 2022 for $6 which was actually a reasonable price seasoning. Now, not so reasonable.

From what I can tell, Ducros is kinda like the McCormick of France.... Wait... The company is indeed now part of McCormick!According to their website, the eponymous Mr. Ducros invented Herbes de Provence in the 1960s.I have used other premium Herbes de Provence, so when I got this package, it didn't seem, smell, or feel quite the same. But I very quickly came to love this blend. Works very well in just about everything - roasts, grilled chicken, eggs, salad, grilled tomato British-style, you name it. Very pleased with this product.This came in a plastic pouch, but I keep empty spice jars around. So I filled some jars with it and dispensed with the pouch. Will definitely buy this again as I run out.And as usual, your mileage may vary. I do, however, hope you'll like it. Most reviewers on here seem to.Edit: A toaster-oven-style air fryer is now my go-to appliance for cooking fish. Herbes de Provence is also wonderful on fish. Just sayin'

Herbes de Provence is a staple in French cuisine. As a French woman living in the US, this is one of the simple things I miss dearly. Ducros is your regular, supermarket brand of spices and herbs - the kind you find in every supermarket all over the country. It's basic, simple, reliable, and good quality.Actual mix and %ages in Herbes de Provences will vary - depending on the brand, or the origin. But you always find the same herbs in there, just in different proportions. And NO, lavender is NEVER included. EVER. If you find Herbes de Provence with Lavender, then it's a tourist trap. Lavender is very seldom used in French cuisine, and when it is, it's mostly "modern cuisine", and desserts.So buy this without hesitation, open it, SMELL IT, and when you're done swooning, grill (or better yet, bbq) some good meat and sprinkle some herbes on it. Not too much, as it's fairly potent.It tastes and smells just like home.

I first bought these when we were on a road trip in the Normandy region. We made dinner that night and I was sold! Ducros Herbes de Provence make the best sauces ever, tomato based or broth based. They also make a mean Brandy Braised Chicken or Pork Roast. When the original 200 g bag that I brought home in my luggage ran out, I thought I'd just see if I could find them online. They are 2X the price, but worth every penny. I squealed with joy when I got them because I love to cook and its wonderful to find something that takes my dishes up to top notch. I tried the American version and the lavender ruins the flavor. I strongly and enthusiastically recommend Ducros Herbes de Provence.

Dried herbs always leave a bit to be desired but these aren't bad at all. Flavor is excellent ... these are wonderful in soup. You can't beat it for the money ... there was enough there to split the bag and give half to my mother while still having plenty for my own needs.
