The Sicilian Sage dried from the Azienda Agricola Due Palmenti encapsulates all the fragrance of Sicily, the most authentic one!
The name "sage" derives from the Latin salvus (safe - healthy) and refers to the healing properties of this plant, already known since ancient times.
Sage is a perennial evergreen species with a bushy growth habit; it features a branched stem that can grow up to 2 m tall with quadrangular section branches, finely serrated opposite leaves covered in fuzz. The flowers are blue or violet and appear around June - July. It is typically Mediterranean and widely distributed throughout Southern Europe. It grows spontaneously in rocky and arid soils and in stony areas between 300 and 1000 meters above sea level.
One of the many typical products of beautiful Sicily that Due Palmenti has decided to enhance by bringing it to the attention of the general public.
The sage leaves are subjected to drying in the shade, in warm, dry, and well-ventilated places or in a dehydrator so as to preserve the aroma and prolong its shelf life.
The Sicilian sage from Due Palmenti is cultivated according to the principles of a sustainable agriculture respectful of the environment through the use of organic fertilizers and the absence of synthetic chemical products.
All phases are carried out by hand, from transplanting, to weeding, until harvesting, drying, and packaging, thus imparting a strongly territorial connotation to the product itself.
The Sicilian sage comes in a practical bag containing 30g of product.
Shelf life: 24 months from packaging
Storage: keep in a cool, dry place away from light and heat sources.
The use of sage in cooking has been known since ancient times in the Mediterranean basin due to its strong and intense aromatic properties that make it, even today, one of the most well-known and used herbs.
The Sicilian Sage dried from Due Palmenti is highly appreciated as a seasoning alongside butter in fresh stuffed pasta (gnocchi, ravioli, or tortelli), and it is also excellent when added to meat dishes, legumes, soups, vegetables, and cheeses.
It also has important medicinal properties: it has balsamic, expectorant, digestive, antibacterial, and antifungal properties; it yields good results in combating water retention, migraines, gum diseases, abscesses, and rheumatism.
