Winter Savory Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Winter Savory (Satureja montana) is a low, woody evergreen perennial of the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to the dry, rocky hills of southern Europe from Spain to the Balkans and grown as a culinary herb in gardens across Europe and North America. It forms a compact, spreading bush 20 to 40 cm tall with stiff stems and narrow, dark green, glossy leaves tipped with a short spine, more pungent and pine-like in scent than the annual summer savory. Small white to pale pink two-lipped flowers appear in the leaf axils from late summer. We extract the dried leaf.
