Product Overview
Egyptian rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus Spenn.) thrives in the arid, mineral-rich soils of the Sinai Peninsula, producing leaves with an intensely concentrated aromatic profile and high antioxidant potency. The stress conditions of the Sinai climate — hot days, cool nights, and minimal rainfall — drive elevated concentrations of carnosic acid, rosmarinic acid, and 1,8-cineole in the essential oil fraction.
HS Herbs supplies whole and cut-and-sifted rosemary leaves that are mechanically harvested and dried using controlled low-temperature methods to preserve the volatile oil content and vibrant green-grey color. Our rosemary undergoes rigorous grading by leaf size and essential oil content to meet the specifications of pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic buyers worldwide.
Applications include culinary seasoning blends, natural antioxidant preparations for food preservation, cosmetic formulations, aromatherapy products, and herbal supplements. Egyptian rosemary from HS Herbs is recognized for its premium quality across European, North American, and Asian markets.
