Indigenous to the Mediterranean, rosemary has a warm, peppery aroma and a piney flavor with hints of nutmeg. Its strong flavor imparts both sweet and savory notes to food and works well in a variety of dishes. Our Spice Islands rosemary comes from Spain, where it flourishes in the ample sun and well-drained soil. Once the leaves are harvested, they’re immediately dried to help retain their pungent aroma and flavor.
