If you have ever bitten into a woody sprig of rosemary and felt like the herb fought back, you are not alone. Dried rosemary needles are stiff and piney, and used carelessly they turn sharp in the mouth. Used well, rosemary is one of the great roasting herbs: resinous, faintly citrusy, unmistakable on potatoes, lamb, chicken, focaccia, and root vegetables crisped in olive oil. The trick is crushing or crumbling the needles before they go in, or adding them whole and pulling them out before serving.
Our rosemary comes as whole dried needles, so it holds its oils and its bold aroma far longer than pre-ground herbs. Crush what you need in your palm or a mortar to release the fragrance, and the flavor blooms without the twiggy texture. Rosemary has flavored the roasts and breads of Mediterranean kitchens for generations, prized for standing up to long heat where softer herbs fade. We pack ours fresh in small batches in Portland to protect its color and resinous punch.
Single ingredient: dried rosemary. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.
