Today’s bread I use rosemary, which is the vanilla that is full of Italian characteristic, and plus olive oil, it is surely an Italian gourmet that can’t be forgotten, and it has the function to help memorizing.
“There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance, pray, love, remember.”—Shakespear, “Hamlet”
Rosemary origins from Mediterranean Coast, the fragrance of rosemary is dense and enduring, and can keep long green after picking. For thousands of years rosemary always symbolizes eternity and remembrance.
