Oregano Oil
700m

This oregano grows in the Italian Alps and the southern Basilicata region at an altitude of 400–700m. It is sourced from Demeter-certified agriculture and is cultivated by experienced farmers according to the strictest biodynamic standards. The soil, as well as the Mediterranean temperatures and climatic influences – such as wind, sun, and rain– are responsible for the oregano's growth and the development of its valuable ingredients and aromas. The high carvacrol content (76%) is a testament to the purity and top-tier quality of this essential oil.

For the production of our oregano essential oil, the flowering herb is harvested at the peak of its maturity. The harvest is then taken to a nearby distillery, where it undergoes gentle steam distillation in compliance with the highest quality standards. Years of experience and a passion for harvesting and processing are reflected in the premium quality of this essential oil.

Origanum vulgare belongs to the Lamiaceae (mint) family and is a hardy, herbaceous perennial that grows in a bushy habit, reaching heights of up to 60cm. Originally native to the Mediterranean, this plant is now widely distributed across Europe as well as West and Central Asia in sunny, dry locations. It is characterised by its ovate, often slightly pubescent leaves and dense, corymb-like clusters of pink to light purple flowers that appear in midsummer. As oregano is prone to hybridisation, several different species exist.

Under the evocative German folk name "Wohlgemut" (cheerful), oregano was valued as far back as antiquity as a remedy for respiratory ailments and digestive issues. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, oregano is used to treat diarrhoea, fever, vomiting and itchy skin. Both fresh and dried, the herb is a staple seasoning in kitchens across the world.
