Rosemary is used both leaves and flowers, which are collected in full bloom during the summer. The twigs with the flowers should be dried as soon as they are collected, as quickly as possible hanging upside down in dry, dark and airy places so that they do not lose their characteristics. Once dried, leaves and flowers must be recovered and kept in sealed glass jars. For the production of essential oils the fresh flowering tops are used. Rosemary is best used fresh as it loses most of its active ingredients with drying.
