Sage Oil 30% is steam-distilled from the dried leaves of the Salvia officinalis herb, also referred to as “Dalmatian Sage” or “Common Sage.” As one of the most well-known culinary spices, sage is cultivated across many different regions and cultures, though its origins are based in the Mediterranean. The aroma of sage oil is fresh and spicy, with a warm top note that is both herbaceous and camphoraceous. As a member of the Lamiaceae mint family, this oil also retains a warm, sweet, and somewhat “burning” flavor. Sage oil is mainly used in flavor, where it finds extensive applications within meat sauces, spice blends, and canned goods. Dalmatian sage is also a popular component of perfumes and colognes, imparting a sweet and herbaceous tenacity that blends particularly well with floral and citrus ingredients.
