Cracked Rosemary
Cracked rosemary — the aromatic Mediterranean herb in a cracked form that releases its oils more slowly than ground, delivering a sustained herbal presence through the cooking process. The rosemary Fine Spice sources for its intensity and staying power.
Cracking rosemary rather than grinding it preserves the essential oils in the leaf longer — the pieces release their fragrance gradually as they cook rather than all at once, which means the rosemary flavor is present at the beginning, middle, and end of cooking. Mediterranean rosemary has the sharpest, most resinous quality of any sourcing region — the hot, dry climate concentrates the essential oils that give rosemary its characteristic piney intensity. This is the herb that makes a roasted lamb or a whole chicken smell like it was made somewhere worth eating.

All Fine Spice blends are made with minimal sea salt and no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or fillers. Small-batch, chef-developed, and formulated for flavor first.
HOW TO USE
Rub onto lamb, chicken, or beef with olive oil and garlic before roasting. The cracked pieces release their piney oils slowly through the cooking process for sustained herbal depth.
Press into focaccia dough before baking, or steep in warm olive oil for 10 minutes for an aromatic dipping oil. The rosemary blooms in fat beautifully.
Toss with potatoes and olive oil before roasting. The rosemary crisps at high heat and fills the kitchen with something worth making every week.
