The plant: Sage (Salvia officinalis)
Sage is an evergreen subshrub from the Lamiaceae (mint) family, native to the Mediterranean basin. Its Latin name Salvia derives from salvare (to save, to heal), reflecting the great importance attributed to this plant since antiquity. The leaves are characteristically velvety with a grey-green colour.
Beyond its culinary use – where it shines in classic dishes like pasta with butter and sage – sage is one of the most important plants in the European herbal tradition, valued and used for millennia.
The leaves are harvested before flowering, when the active compound content is at its peak.
