Rosmarino. One of the most widely used herbs in Sicilian cooking, it has an uplifting, rich, warm peppery scent. Used widely rom savoury cuisine to sweet biscuits. It is actually a member of the mint family and its name comes from the latin for 'dew of the sea' with the latin word 'ros' meaning 'dew' and 'marinus' meaning 'of the sea'.
