FROM THE FIELD—TO YOUR FOOD
Greatness isn’t made, it’s grown by passionate farmers from all over the world. Our commitment to quality means that you can trust the ingredients in every bottle of McCormick Gourmet and that they can help make flavors you love. For example, cinnamon product integrity is managed every step of the way, from source country to your door, by a comprehensive vendor certification quality program. And red pepper seeds must meet McCormick specs to ensure an optimum flavor and consistency.
FROM US—TO OUR FARMERS
Without the farmers, none of this would be possible. We’re dedicated to their success, and that doesn’t just mean the success of their crops. To reach our goal of improving the resilience of the smallholder farming communities in India who grow our five iconic herbs and spices, we will continue to improve their livelihoods, empower women with access to education and skills training, and invest in water purification systems to facilitate clean drinking water.
FROM FARMING—TO OUR FUTURE
The future has to be sustainable, that’s why we’re dedicated to making a measurable impact with how our farms operate. Initiatives to help reduce our environmental impact include supporting farmers in implementing integrated pest management systems and teaching biodynamic farming practices to eradicate the need for chemicals. We’re also working with partners to prevent deforestation by promoting more sustainable land management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this seasoning help me get dinner on the table faster?
Yes. Instead of measuring six different herbs, you shake one blend into pasta sauce, soup, chicken, or vegetables. That single-step seasoning saves several minutes per meal, which adds up across a busy week.
Is it good for weekly meal prep?
Absolutely. You can season a full batch of chicken, a tray of roasted vegetables, and a pot of soup in one session using the same jar, streamlining your Sunday prep routine.
Does it work for quick office lunch cooking?
Yes. A pinch transforms plain rice, a grain bowl, or a simple pasta salad into an Italian-style lunch in seconds, which is ideal for cooking at the office or assembling meals the night before.
Can I use it to season multiple dishes in one cooking session?
Yes. Because the flavor profile is consistent, you can season pasta sauce, garlic bread, and a vegetable side with the same jar and get cohesive Italian flavor across the whole meal.
Does the bottle open and close quickly for fast cooking?
Yes. The shaker cap design allows you to tap, shake, or spoon the herbs out in seconds without unscrewing a lid, which keeps your cooking workflow moving.
Will this save me time compared to chopping fresh herbs?
Yes. Dried herbs are ready to use straight from the jar. You skip the washing, stripping, and chopping required for fresh basil, rosemary, and thyme, which is a major time-saver on weeknights.
Can I rely on this for consistent flavor across many recipes?
Yes. Pre-blended dried herbs deliver the same ratio of basil to oregano to rosemary every time, so your pasta sauce, soup, and chicken all taste reliably Italian without rebalancing each dish.
Is it efficient for batch cooking large portions?
Yes. A single jar seasons a large pot of marinara, a tray of baked ziti, or a slow-cooker full of braised meat, so it scales well for meal prep and family-style cooking.
Can I take it to the office or a shared kitchen?
Yes. The compact 0.55 oz bottle is small and light enough to slip into a lunch bag or store in a desk drawer so you always have Italian flavor on hand for quick lunches.
Does it help simplify my grocery list?
Yes. Instead of tracking six separate herbs that often run out at different times, you maintain a single jar that lasts through many meals, which simplifies shopping and inventory.
How is this different from buying individual herbs for meal prep?
Individual herbs force you to measure, balance, and restock six different jars. This blend is pre-proportioned for Italian flavor, removing a decision step from every recipe and speeding up your routine.
Is this faster than using a pre-made Italian sauce mix?
Yes. Sauce mixes often contain added salt, sugar, and thickeners. This blend is just herbs, so you can build a quick, healthier sauce from canned tomatoes in the time it would take to stir in a packaged mix.
How does this compare to a meal-kit seasoning packet?
Meal-kit packets are single-use and often include salt and preservatives. This reusable organic jar gives the same Italian flavor profile across many meals at a much lower per-use cost.
I'm worried it will slow me down. Is it really quicker than fresh herbs?
Fresh herbs require washing, picking leaves, and chopping. With this dried blend, you open the cap, shake, and cook. Most home cooks find it noticeably faster, especially on busy nights.
Will it stay potent long enough to last through a busy month?
Yes. When stored in a cool, dry place with the cap closed, dried organic herbs retain their aroma and flavor for many months, so the bottle stays useful through weeks of regular cooking.
Can it support a focus-driven cooking routine without distractions?
Yes. Because the seasoning decision is already made for you, you spend less time reading labels, measuring multiple jars, and second-guessing ratios, which keeps your attention on the meal itself.
How do I use McCormick Gourmet Organic Italian Seasoning in a basic marinara sauce?
Start a simple marinara by sautéing onion and garlic in olive oil, add a can of crushed tomatoes, and stir in about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the Italian seasoning. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, then taste and adjust with salt and pepper. The blend of basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and sage gives the sauce a balanced, classic Italian flavor without any extra steps.
What's the right amount to use per recipe?
For most family-sized dishes like pasta sauce, soup, or a tray of roasted vegetables, 1 to 2 teaspoons is a good starting point. Lighter dishes like vinaigrette or sprinkled-on garlic bread usually need about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon. You can always add more, but dried herbs intensify as they cook, so it is best to start light and adjust at the end.
How should I store the bottle to keep the herbs fresh?
Keep the cap tightly closed and store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, such as a pantry, drawer, or closed spice rack. Avoid storing it next to the stove where heat and steam can shorten shelf life. Properly stored, dried organic herbs typically stay aromatic for many months.
Does this work with both dried and fresh cooking methods?
Yes. The dried herbs are designed to bloom in oil-based sauces, soups, and braises, and they also work well as a dry rub on roasted vegetables, chicken, or bread dough before baking. You can sprinkle them on finished dishes like pizza or caprese as a finishing touch as well.
Is this seasoning safe for people with common food allergies?
The ingredient list contains only the six named organic herbs. It does not contain dairy, gluten, soy, nuts, eggs, fish, or shellfish, and it is produced in a facility that follows standard allergen-control practices. If you have a specific allergy, always check the label on your specific bottle for the most current information.
What is in the box when I order it?
You will receive one 0.55 oz bottle of McCormick Gourmet Organic Italian Seasoning. The bottle has a shaker cap for easy sprinkling. Nothing else is required to start using it, though you may want a small spoon for measuring when cooking larger recipes.
Is this product safe to consume every day?
Yes. The blend is simply a mix of six dried culinary herbs with no added salt, MSG, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Used in normal cooking amounts, it is safe for daily use as part of a balanced diet.
How long does an opened bottle usually last?
Most home cooks use the 0.55 oz bottle within two to four months of regular cooking. Dried herbs gradually lose aroma over time, so for the best flavor, plan to finish the bottle within about six months of opening, assuming the cap is closed after each use and the bottle is stored properly.
What is the difference between Italian seasoning and herbs de Provence?
Italian seasoning typically contains basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and sage, giving it a savory, slightly peppery profile that pairs with pasta, pizza, and tomato-based dishes. Herbs de Provence usually includes lavender, fennel, and sometimes chervil or tarragon, producing a more floral, French-Mediterranean flavor. Choose Italian seasoning for classic Italian recipes and herbs de Provence for roasted chicken, fish, and French-style vegetable dishes.
