English Name: Rosemary Leaves C/S
French Name: Feuilles de Romarin Coupées
Also Known As: Cut and Sifted Rosemary, Rosmarinus Leaves, Culinary Rosemary Leaves, Aromatic Rosemary Herb
Part Used: Leaves of Rosmarinus officinalis
Description: Rosemary Leaves C/S is composed of carefully harvested leaves from the evergreen shrub Rosmarinus officinalis, a perennial member of the Lamiaceae family. Native to the Mediterranean region, rosemary grows naturally in rocky, well-drained soils with abundant sunlight. The plant forms needle-like, aromatic leaves along woody stems, and small pale blue to violet flowers appear seasonally in spring and summer, highlighting the plant’s full foliage.
The leaves are harvested when fully grown, ensuring optimal size, shape, and aromatic integrity. Each leaf is narrow, slightly leathery, and dark green in colour, displaying fine longitudinal veining. Collection ensures that only intact and healthy leaves are used, preserving the structural quality and natural visual characteristics necessary for cut-and-sifted processing.
After selection, the leaves are gently cleaned to remove stems, debris, and dust, then carefully dried using controlled air or low-temperature methods. Drying preserves the natural green tone, aromatic oils, and leaf texture. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted into uniform pieces, producing a clean, free-flowing product with visible leaf fragments that maintain the natural appearance of the rosemary plant.
The finished Rosemary Leaves C/S blend is visually uniform, lightweight, and durable, with evenly cut leaf fragments that retain colour and aromatic presence. The cut-and-sifted format offer easy handling, measuring, and incorporation into blends, while showcasing the natural identity and structure of the rosemary leaves.
Uses: Rosemary Leaves C/S is used in culinary preparations such as seasoning blends, dry rubs, and herb mixes, where the visual presence of leaf fragments adds appeal. It is also suitable for tea-style infusions, aromatic herb blends, and decorative displays. Additionally, the cut-and-sifted leaves can be incorporated into craft projects, educational botanical collections, and formulation processes that require identifiable, uniform dried leaves.
