Oregano Origanum vulgare
Known as a popular cooking spice, Oregano oil also acts as a powerful cleansing agent, and offers powerful antioxidants*—extending its uses far beyond the kitchen.
Why Turkey?
Oregano grows wild in Turkey as the plant thrives in the temperate western and southwestern Eurasia and Mediterranean regions.
How does it work?
Oregano is a perennial herb that grows up to 3 feet (1 m) high. It is typically grown and used for the spice industry. The essential oil is produced through steam distilling the aerial parts of the plant. It is usually wild-harvested when the flowers bloom once or twice a year, but it can also be cultivated. Our supplier works with a network of hundreds of small-scale farmers in Turkey.
