Zeit Tounsi Rosemary Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Earthy and fragrant, rosemary has long been cherished in traditional Italian and Mediterranean cooking for its bold, pine-like aroma and distinctive herbal character. This Rosemary Extra Virgin Olive Oil brings that timeless pairing into everyday use. Fresh rosemary sprigs, known for their needle-like leaves and naturally woody, slightly peppery fragrance, are infused into cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil made from hand-picked Italian olives shortly after harvest. This gentle infusion process allows rosemary’s aromatic oils to blend beautifully into the olive oil without overpowering its natural flavor, resulting in a rich, savory, and well-balanced taste. The finished oil carries a soft green-gold color, a smooth, rounded texture, and a warm, fragrant aroma with subtle notes of pine, citrus, and fresh herbs underneath. It’s especially well-suited to hearty Mediterranean dishes — drizzled over roasted potatoes, brushed onto grilled vegetables, used to finish focaccia and rustic breads, or added to roasted lamb and chicken before serving. As with our other herb-infused oils, rosemary’s delicate aromatic character is best preserved by adding it toward the end of cooking rather than using it as a primary frying oil.
