Italian blend

The Italian Blend is a blend of spices that enhances the taste of savory dishes, adding a herbaceous and slightly spicy touch. It is characterized by its spicy and fresh scent, thanks to its fine herbs. In the mouth, it has a spicy, warm and slightly salty side.  Traditional Italian Blend ingredients include chili, pepper, garlic, oregano and mustard. This spice is particularly appreciated in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. It originates from Italy and the chili pepper contained in this mixture is often used in pasta recipes.  The Italian Blend is enhanced by aromatic herbs such as thyme and oregano, which pair perfectly with tomato sauce and olives, fundamental elements of Italian pizza.  From a health perspective, each ingredient in Italian Blend provides distinct benefits. Oregano and thyme relieve digestive disorders, improve digestion and have antiseptic properties useful for fighting colds and coughs. Mustard, naturally rich in sodium, is a powerful antioxidant and source of carotenoids which reduce the risk of certain cancers. Dried garlic is a natural remedy for colds and helps regulate blood pressure. Pepper and chili pepper, despite their burning sensation, stimulate the immune system and treat certain flu symptoms.  Italian Blend is an essential spice in Italian cuisine, perfect for seasoning tomato sauces, pizzas and pasta recipes. It also goes well with marinated meat, potatoes and eggs. It can be used raw to spice up vinaigrettes and sauces.  To reveal the full flavor of the Italian Blend, it is recommended to add it to a liquid, such as cream, oil or coconut milk, and to avoid direct contact with a hot pan to avoid cooking excessive. When cooking in the oven, mix it with olive oil before brushing the meat or potatoes. On a pizza, you can cook it with tomato sauce or sprinkle it raw right out of the oven for an authentic Italian flavor.
