Description

The officinal Rosemary is a small perennial shrub that can reach a height of 1.5m (5ft), with aromatic leaves. Cultivated for its leaves used to flavour grilled dishes, soups, meats, and infusions. Sowing from April to June, harvest 1 year later.

Rosemary was used in the past to scent churches. It has been known since ancient times in cooking and as a medicinal plant. Fresh or dried leaves are used to flavour stews, fish, poultry, game, vegetables, and pasta, as they have antiseptic, bactericidal, digestive, and tonic properties. Rosemary contains an essential oil.

Rosemary thrives in arid and rocky soils and requires little maintenance. Regular pruning helps keep it compact.
