A.Vogel Herbamare® Original in the generous 500g size is a seasoned herb salt crafted from a unique blend of fresh, organically grown herbs and vegetables combined with natural sea salt. This iconic seasoning has been a kitchen staple for health-conscious cooks worldwide since its creation by Swiss naturopath Alfred Vogel.
What sets Herbamare apart from ordinary herb salts is the production process. Fresh herbs including celery, leek, watercress, onion, chives, parsley, lovage, garlic, basil, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, and kelp are harvested and combined with unrefined sea salt while still fresh. This mixture is then left to steep for up to twelve months, allowing the salt to absorb the full spectrum of flavours and nutrients from the herbs before being gently dried. The result is a seasoning with remarkable depth and complexity that dried herb blends simply cannot replicate.
The 500g pack is ideal for households that use Herbamare daily and prefer not to repurchase frequently. It works beautifully as an all-purpose seasoning — sprinkle it over salads, soups, roasted vegetables, eggs, grilled meats, or pasta dishes. Many South Africans find it the perfect braai-side companion for enhancing the natural flavour of food without relying on artificial additives or excessive sodium.
Herbamare Original is certified organic, free from artificial flavourings and preservatives, and suitable for those following a cleaner approach to everyday cooking. Because the herbs are processed fresh rather than dried, the seasoning retains a vibrant, aromatic quality that elevates even the simplest meals.
