Your herbs will turn brown when in the sun or out in the light. So, to keep your herb seasoning fresh store it in a dark place.

You can use this herb blend for at least half a year or longer when you store it properly and in a dark place. When you store the herbs in a sunny place they can discolor.
What Is The Difference Between Italian Seasoning And Pizza Seasoning?
The difference between Italian and pizza seasoning is very subtle. Italian seasoning is a mix of several dried herbs like oregano, thyme, basil, and rosemary.
Pizza seasoning also is made up of these dried herbs but with some additional spice to give your pizza even more test like:
