Description

Sage is a herb from an evergreen shrub, botanically known as, Salvia Officinalis. It is a member of the mint family. The aromatic long leaves are silvery gray green in color. Rubbed Sage is put through minimum grinding and a coarse sieve. The result is a fluffy, velvety, almost cotton-like textured product. Sage has a fragrant aroma and warm and astringent flavor.

Sage leaves are silvery gray in color and have a pebbled, veined, and fuzzy appearance. The undersides of the leaves are lighter and more silver in color than the upper side of the leaf.

Origin

Sage is principally produced in Southeastern Europe. Sage is also grown in the United States, Dalmatia and Albania, commonly called Dalmatian Sage. It is highly aromatic, noted for its mellowness and is smoother tasting due to differing essential oil components.
