Odori

In Italian cooking, the word odori refers to a small group of fresh, aromatic ingredients used to flavor sauces and other preparations. The basic odori usually consist of an onion, a rib of celery, a carrot, sometimes a clove of garlic, and a few sprigs of parsley, but these can be varied or enriched with additional herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, marjoram, or others.
