A tier
Barbecue rosemary is selected for long, straight, sturdy stems that double as flavourful kebab skewers—needles strip cleanly and the wood holds meat over coals. Leaf flavour is robust classic rosemary. Skewer lamb, chicken, or vegetables on stripped stems; chop remaining leaves into marinades. Built for grill culture.
