Herb
Olive Leaf Rocket
B tier
Olive leaf rocket has elongated, smoother leaves shaped a little like olive foliage—less frilly than classic rucola, with a refined pepper and good bag presentation. Texture is elegant rather than jagged wild. Suits fine salads and sandwich layers where a calmer leaf shape is wanted without losing rocket identity.
