Description

About:
This Oregano belongs to the Onites variety, typical across the Aegean Islands. Our selection is sourced in small batches from the islands of Samos and Crete. The whole leaves and blossoms are obtained through a labor-intensive process where workers separate them from the stems by hand to prevent crushing. The purpose? To preserve the herb as a whole, when crushed and used to extract all of its powerful aromas and full taste potential as a finishing oregano.

Taste:
Uncommonly herbaceous, tingling, with a rich citrusy flavor.

Uses:
Whole-leaf herbs have the benefit of releasing their full aromas when crumbled. To get the most of our Aegean Isle Oregano, get a pitch and crush it with your fingers, before sprinkling it over your favourite dish. It makes an exceptional finishing herb and pairs well with root vegetables, briny fish, or as a topping over salads and soft cheese.
