How Is Greek Seasoning Different from Italian Seasoning?

Greek seasoning usually has herbs, like oregano and thyme, as well as spices, like cumin and coriander. It’s often used in dishes, like gyros and souvlaki. Italian seasoning usually has herbs, like basil and oregano. It’s often used in pasta dishes

Greek seasoning tends to have a stronger, more pungent flavor, due to the inclusion of herbs such as oregano and thyme, which have a strong, aromatic taste. It also often includes spices such as cumin and coriander, which add depth and warmth to the blend. Greek seasoning is often used in dishes such as gyros, souvlaki, and tzatziki sauce.

Italian seasoning, on the other hand, tends to have a milder, more subtle flavor. It typically includes herbs such as basil, oregano, and thyme, which have a more delicate, sweet taste. It is often used in pasta dishes, pizza, and as a rub for grilled meats and vegetables.

how to make Cavender’s Greek Seasoning

• Arrange all dried fresh spices: Arrange all the dried ingredients together. Buy all these from an authentic source. I used cans of herbs that are pretty natural and fresh. I also stored them in my kitchen cabinet far away from fire heat.
  
• Place into a bowl: Take a bowl. Place all spices according to the mentioned amount of seasonings together.
  
• Mix in a jar: Now, take a jar and pour all dried ingredients into it. Tighten the lid properly. Then shake the jar very fast. Perhaps it takes 5-7 seconds, almost. On the other hand, you can blend the herbs to get a more pleasing and smooth texture.
  
• Store: You can store this seasoning in  an air-tight container for around 6-8 months. Make sure the place must be cool and dark. Keep the container away from high-light, fire-heat, and sunlight unless it loses pungent and tenderness. You can also store the seasonings in a freeze at an average temperature.
