Savory contains a large variety of essential oils which give it a characteristic aroma and flavour similar to oregano or thyme. It has been used as a culinary herb for many centuries, the peppery leaves used liberally for flavouring, particularly beans and meats. This little shrubby perennial often stays green through the winter, but also dries well for winter use.
