Italian seasoning

An Italian seasoning mix from a Massachusetts-based brand.

Italian seasoning is an American 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. The blend varies by brand, with many publishing vague, nonspecific ingredient lists.[citation needed]

Italian seasoning is not found in Italy;[1] pre-blended, dry herb mixtures are not common in Italy. However, salamoia Bolognese consists of rosemary, sage, garlic, salt, and black pepper.[2]
