Not Only Aroma: Pure Extra Virgin Olive Oil and High Quality Rosemary
- Our rosemary-infused extra virgin olive oil follows a time-honored Italian tradition, preserving the natural essence of both the oil and the herb. Premium olives, harvested at perfect ripeness, are cold-pressed below 27 °C to maintain their delicate aromas, while freshly picked, high-quality rosemary is carefully dried to retain its vibrant, earthy fragrance.
- The herb is steeped in the oil for about 10 days in stainless steel tanks, allowing the infusion to capture its full Mediterranean character, with expert tasters ensuring ideal balance and flavor.
- Revered since ancient Greece for its culinary and medicinal virtues, rosemary adds a bold, aromatic touch to this smooth, golden oil, bringing the spirit of the Mediterranean to every dish.

THE ITALIAN SEA ROSE
Rosemary is one of the most common aromatic plants in Italy together with basil. It is an easy-to-grow, robust, frost-resistant plant and in the spring it offers beautiful blue-lilac flowers. Its name derives from the Latin terms rosa and maris, or sea roset.
In fact it is a plant closely linked to the sea because it grows spontaneously on the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean. It can therefore be said that Italy is surrounded by rosemary! It has been used in the kitchen since ancient times to flavor meat, fish and vegetables. It was also hung in bunches to keep moths from cupboards and kitchen pantries.
Rosemary essential oils are also used in herbal medicine as a digestive aid. In the Middle Ages, magical virtues are attributed to rosemary because of its balsamic properties, so much so that objects of all kinds were created in rosemary wood to be used as talismans, including combs that were believed to prevent hair loss.
