Wild Rosemary 125 g

Wild rosemary

Rosemary is a large Mediterranean evergreen shrub with thick, leathery leaves resembling pine needles. It is an extremely aromatic herb with a strong scent reminiscent of resin, so it should be used sparingly; otherwise, it will overpower the flavours and aromas of other ingredients. Like oregano and marjoram, rosemary is indispensable in Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italian and French cuisine, and traditionally in Slovenian cuisine as well.

As rosemary develops its aroma during cooking, we recommend adding it to dishes right at the start of cooking. It can be combined with thyme, garlic and parsley, particularly in oven-baked and grilled meat dishes. Dried rosemary has a slightly more pungent flavour than fresh rosemary, though the scent itself does not differ significantly. It is usually crushed before being added to dishes.

It goes perfectly with sauces, particularly those containing tomatoes. It gives roast potatoes a distinctive aroma and flavour. Combined with olive oil, Parmesan, cherry tomatoes and salt, it is an essential ingredient in Italian focaccia.

Our wild rosemary grows in Crete.

In infusions, it can be used to relieve cramps, digestive problems and bloating, as it stimulates bowel movements and digestion, whilst also aiding detoxification. Rosemary is rich in antioxidants and is considered one of the healthiest Mediterranean plants, as it regulates blood sugar, stimulates circulation, helps prevent malignant diseases, has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, and prevents the formation of blood clots, etc.
