They are characteristic ingredients for dishes and drinks in Greece, Italy, Spain, southern France, Turkey, Tunisia and Morocco. Herbs from the Mediterranean have become indispensable in our kitchen and are usually available anywhere in dried form.

Important: the soil should be permeable and rather sandy when growing these varieties.
