Chubritsa (known internationally as Summer Savory, Satureja hortensis) is one of Bulgaria's most beloved and essential spices — a fragrant, aromatic herb with a warm, peppery character that has been a cornerstone of Bulgarian cooking for centuries.

Bulgaria's climate and soil are considered among the finest in the world for growing savory, producing leaves with an exceptionally intense aroma and flavour. Bulgarian chubritsa has a distinctive warmth and depth that sets it apart from varieties grown elsewhere.

This Chubritsa by Oberon is made from naturally dried, crushed savory leaves — pure and simple, with no additives.

Flavour & aroma

Warm, aromatic, and slightly peppery with hints of thyme and oregano. Intensely fragrant when rubbed between the fingers. A little goes a long way.

How to use it

• Bean dishes — the classic Bulgarian pairing: chubritsa is essential in bob chorba (bean soup) and baked beans
• Lentil & chickpea dishes — adds warmth and depth to any legume preparation
• Soups & stews — stir in during cooking for a rounded, herbal flavour
• Grilled meats — rub onto chicken, lamb, or pork before grilling
• Bread & butter — sprinkle over fresh bread with butter or olive oil
• Sharena sol — a key ingredient in the traditional Bulgarian spiced salt blend
• Herbal tea — steep dried chubritsa for a soothing, aromatic infusion

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Keep tightly sealed to preserve aroma.
