More than a kitchen herb. Rosemary has been used across North Africa and the Mediterranean for thousands of years, burned in healing rituals, woven into ceremonial wreaths and prescribed by traditional healers long before it found its way into modern cooking.
A piece of history
In ancient Egypt rosemary was placed in tombs as an offering to the dead, symbolising remembrance and eternal life. Across North Africa it was burned as incense to purify spaces and ward off illness. Medieval healers called it the herb of memory and modern science has confirmed what they already knew, that rosemary contains compounds that actively support brain function and circulation.
