Taste and use

Das macht diesen getrockneten Rosmarin aus Sizilien aus:

• Taste: Dieser Rosmarin hat ein intensives, leicht bitter-harziges Aroma.
• Quality features: The organic herbs are carefully dried in the small laboratory in Canicattini Bagni by the employees of the L'Arcolaio cooperative.
• Use: Rosmarin passt wunderbar zu Ofengemüse, Bratkartoffeln, Fleischgerichten, das Gewürz ist aber auch zum Verfeinern einer Tomatensauce oder eines Ratatouilles geeignet.

Cultivation and ecology

So wird der Rosmarin angebaut:

• Cultivation method: Organic farming.
• Producers: The L'Arcolaio cooperative offers migrants and ex-prisoners the opportunity of legal employment in food processing. Together with migrants and ex-prisoners, the social entrepreneurs grow various herbs and vegetables on several hectares. By processing almonds in the Siracusa prison and growing herbs in the Monti Iblei, L'Arcolaio is creating regular jobs in agriculture and food processing. The cooperative is thus breaking the vicious circle of organized crime in which many young people and migrants are trapped.
