Rosmarino (Sicily)

(Rosemary)

Mainly grown in the community of Villarosa, Sicilian rosemary is one the most widely used spices in the local cuisine. Leaves and flowers are harvested during summer and left to dry in dark, well-ventilated places before being packed in glass jars, paper or plastic bags, where they can last for a very long time.


This wonderfully fragrant herb is used to flavor meats, fish, or vegetables, and it will turn any simple bread or focaccia into a true delicacy. Although it is much more often used in savory dishes, it works well in desserts, too.
