Price: $17.59USD
McCormick Rosemary Leaves 6oz 170g
McCormick Rosemary Leaves deliver a bold, piney flavor with a fresh, woody aroma that holds up well to heat and long cooking. A cornerstone of Mediterranean cooking, rosemary has a slightly bitter, resinous character that pairs especially well with lamb, pork, poultry, and roasted vegetables.
These dried rosemary leaves are carefully harvested and gently dried to preserve flavor, color, and aroma. Rosemary is a powerful herb so use it sparingly. Crushing the leaves before use helps release their essential oils and allows the flavor to distribute more evenly through a dish.
Rosemary works beautifully with garlic, olive oil, and wine in marinades and rubs, and it shines in slow-cooked stews, tomato-based sauces, and roasted dishes where heat brings out its signature fragrance.
Common uses include:
- Crush about ¾ teaspoon and mix into 1 lb of ground beef
- Add to spaghetti, barbecue, pizza, or lasagna sauces
- Season lamb, pork, chicken, potatoes, and vegetables
- Use in breads and focaccia, or infused into oils and marinades

McCormick Rosemary Leaves 6oz 170g - FAQ
- Q: What does rosemary taste like?
- A: Rosemary has a strong pine-like, woody aroma and a bittersweet flavor. It’s one of the more assertive herbs, so a little goes a long way.
- Q: What kinds of dishes use rosemary?
- A: Rosemary is excellent in roasted or grilled meats like lamb, chicken, and pork. It’s also great in stews, soups, tomato sauces, roasted potatoes, and even breads like focaccia. You’ll also find it in Mediterranean cooking and herb blends.
- Q: Where would I use ground rosemary instead of rosemary leaves?
- A: Ground Rosemary is best when you want the flavor without visible herb pieces. It disperses smoothly into sauces, broths, soups, gravies, marinades, and dressings—anywhere a uniform texture matters. It's ideal for dishes where the rosemary should blend in and not stand out, like tomato sauces, and spice rubs. Rubbed Rosemary is better for sprinkling on top of finished dishes like pizza or roasted vegetables, where appearance and texture play a role.
- Q: Can rosemary be used in desserts?
- A: Yes! While savory uses are more common, rosemary adds a surprising twist to shortbread, lemonade, and even cocktails. Try it with citrus or berry flavors for a refreshing herbal note.
- Q: How much dried rosemary equals fresh?
- A: Use 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary leaves in place of 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh rosemary.
- Q: Should I crush rosemary leaves before using them?
- A: Crushing helps release more flavor and reduces the texture of whole leaves in dishes like sauces or ground meat. Simply rub the leaves between your fingers or crush them lightly with a spoon.
- Q: Where is McCormick rosemary sourced?
- A: McCormick rosemary is primarily sourced from Mediterranean-growing regions, including Morocco and Albania, where the climate is well suited to producing aromatic, high-quality rosemary.
