Rosemary grows rampantly in Italy and is known for its peppery, woody flavor which makes its way into countless Italian recipes. Rosemary also has a rich symbolic history, and was considered sacred to ancient Egyptians, Romans and Greeks. It was thought to be capable of dispelling negativity, used as a token of friendship and as a way to chase away bad dreams. Agricola Filippone, a family farm in Madonie Park, Sicily, grows organic Italian herbs with great care, following strict sustainability standards while preserving local food traditions. Their panoramic farm sits at 3,281 feet above sea level, where the herbs are grown in the Sicilian sunshine, harvested by hand and dried in open air. The elevation and nutrient content of the soil creates the perfect growing environment for top-quality, fragrant and flavorful herbs. Net weight: 25 g/0.9 oz
