A member of the mint family, Rosmarinus officinalis is a highly aromatic shrub that is most widely known for its use in traditional dishes like potatoes, stuffing, lamb, turkey, chicken, and more.

Native to Mediterranean areas, this fragrant plant produces leaves from which Rosemary oil is extracted.
