Other
Rosemary
The needle-like leaves of an evergreen shrub, Salvia rosmarinus. The flavour sits in the aromatic oils in the leaf.
Origin
Native to the Mediterranean coast and grown in gardens well beyond it.
Flavour
Piney, resinous, and camphor-like.
How to use it
Use sprigs whole in roasts and stews, and strip the leaves for chopping. A little is enough.
Storage
Fresh sprigs keep in the fridge, wrapped. Dried leaves keep in a jar, with a quieter flavour.
