Herb
Gorizia
B tier
Gorizia rosemary has notably large, wide needles—almost leaf-like compared with fine types—making stripping and chopping faster for kitchen prep. Flavour is full, slightly softer-pine, excellent for heavy roasting. A practical chef’s plant when volume leaf matters. Origin associations point to northeastern Italian selections.
