Roastmary

The #1 one product that just flies off the shelves at The Rosemary House is our very own ROASTMARY®.This is one of our original blends, it is by far our best seller for over 40 years. Rosemary, Garlic, Salt and pepper.

Use Roastmary on meats, poultry, fish to dazzle your tongue and impress your friends. Use it in mashed potatoes instead of salt (it does contains salt). And substitute Roastmary on bread instead of garlic when serving garlic bread with pasta, you will fall in love with this blend. 

Warning Roastmary is addicting, and you and your friends will love it. Great gift idea! Enjoy! Recipe sheet comes with the seasoning. 

Roastmary can be purchased in person at our shop in Mechanicsburg and through our online shop.  

Sold in 3 1/2 oz jars, 1/2 pound jars or 1 pound bags. 

This was one of the first seasonings on our shelves and it was, and still is, a winner! Our mother’s dearest friend Teresa Kuentz, was an excellent cook with an Italian heritage who always used garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary in her cooking. That winning combination formed the basis for this timeless seasoning. My mother (saving on the cost of long distance calls) would write to Teresa and ship a batch of the blend for tasting and tweaking. Teresa would then phone with an instruction – more rosemary, or less salt, or more pepper, and another batch would be made and sent off for the taste test, until finally, she had her dear friends stamp of approval. 

We are proud to say Roastmary has now been sold in all 50 states, 14 countries and counting. It’s perfect for chicken, pork roasts, baked potatoes, even garlic bread. We’ve been told it is delicious on everything except perhaps ice cream!

We honor these two remarkable women with their strong bond of friendship that has exceeded 50 years. They shared an amazing love and enthusiasm coupled with energy, inspiration, and creativity that spilled over into all their endeavors. We were blessed to learn life’s lesson’s from these amazing women.
