Portugese Mint

Description

Portuguese Mint is a robust, aromatic variety deeply rooted in the culinary and folk traditions of rural Portugal. With broad, softly textured leaves and a sweet, herbal scent, it has long been used in traditional cooking—flavouring bean stews, grilled meats, and herbal infusions known for aiding digestion. Often found growing near village homes and terraces, this mint is valued not only for its resilience and vigour but also for its role in community gardens and seasonal rituals. Its gentle flavour sits between spearmint and apple mint, making it ideal for teas, sauces, and everyday kitchen use. A treasured cultivar that brings a taste of the Iberian landscape to any herb garden.
