Botany and Origin

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) belongs to the Lamiaceae family (mint family) and is an evergreen shrub native to the sun-drenched coastal regions of the Mediterranean. The name comes from the Latin "ros marinus," meaning "sea dew" – a reference to the delicate, needle-like leaves that are often associated with the fine, salty mist of the sea. It grows best in dry, well-drained soils and can reach a height of up to 2 meters. Its small, delicate blue or purple flowers usually appear in spring, adding not only beauty to the plant but also a valuable source of food for bees and insects. The history of rosemary dates back to ancient times, where it was revered not only as a spice but also as a symbol of remembrance and fidelity. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was an important part of culinary, medicinal, and mythological practices. The Greeks valued it for its healing properties and for its ability to enhance memory. The poet Plutarch wrote that students wore rosemary sprigs to improve their mental sharpness and pass exams. The Romans used it both in food and in religious ceremonies, and the plant was often used in wedding rituals as a symbol of love and fidelity, underscoring its lasting role as a symbol of enduring bonds. In the Middle Ages, it not only gained popularity in culinary use but also played an essential role in monastic medicine. Monks used rosemary oil to treat various ailments, from digestive issues to colds. It was believed to aid concentration and improve mood – properties that are still valued in aromatherapy today. In folk belief, rosemary was also considered a protective plant, used in homes to ward off evil spirits and misfortune. During the Renaissance, rosemary saw a resurgence as European explorers brought it to the New World, where its cultivation spread to regions like North America, where it is now a hardy garden herb in many households. Today, rosemary is widely cultivated in many Mediterranean countries and is used not only in cooking but also in cosmetics and alternative medicine. It remains a culinary highlight of Mediterranean cuisine and a plant with deep historical and cultural significance that has played a role in human society for thousands of years. From ancient Greece to the present day, it continues to be a symbol of remembrance, fidelity, and health, ever-present in our kitchens and gardens.
