This oregano is grown organically in the sunny countryside in the north of the Region of Murcia, Spain, at an altitude of 600 metres. The soil as well as the Mediterranean temperatures and climatic influences, such as wind, sun and rain, are responsible for the growth and development of valuable ingredients and flavours in oregano. The essential oil contains carvacrol, para-cymene, gamma-terpinene and thymol. The flowering herb is harvested from June to July and gently distilled in our own distillery using steam. Many years of experience and passion in harvesting and processing are reflected in the special flavours of the essential oil.
Our Spanish essential oil producer has been working with aromatic plants since 1996, which led to the creation of the small family business in 2004. The expertise of the company lies on the one hand in the production of essential oils from domestic plants on the other hand it obtains other oils from cooperatives worldwide. The quality and origin of the oils are therefore very well researched and documented. The native oils are either from their own controlled organic cultivation or from wild collection in the region of Andalusia. The manufacturer produces the essential oils with steam in its own distillery, in addition, its products are certified organic since 2004.
Oregano vulgare, also known as wild marjoram, belongs to the labiate family (Lamiaceae). It is mostly found in the eastern Mediterranean region. It grows as a perennial and can grow up to 40 cm high. In summer, the herb produces numerous purple-pink flowers in umbels. There are different species of oregano. The herb is used fresh or dried as a spice in many cuisines. In traditional Chinese medicine, oregano is used to treat diarrhoea, fever, vomiting or itchy skin.
The intense spicy-herbal aroma invigorates and refreshes body and mind. The strong, aromatic bouquet tones and stimulates in case of mental exhaustion.
