Savory is dried as a whole plant and then the leaves are removed from the branches. The flavour of savory resembles thyme, while the smell of the herb is reminiscent of a mixture of lavender and apples with a slightly peppery mint flavour. Dried savory has more flavour than fresh savory. The influence of climate, season, soil and ripeness are also important for smell, colour and taste of the plant. The warmer the weather, the more essential oils the herb contains.
