Oregano

Oregano is a signature Mediterranean herb growing between 20 and 80 cm, valued for its strong aroma and centuries-long culinary and medicinal use. As an essential ingredient in Mediterranean and many international cuisines, it enhances pizza, pasta sauces, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, soups, salads, marinades, snack seasonings, bakery products, and a wide range of mixed-herb blends. Oregano tea and oil are also widely used for soothing, antiseptic, and restorative purposes.

Its flavor intensity varies with climate, altitude, and soil conditions. Türkiye is one of the world’s leading producers, with large-scale cultivation and harvesting concentrated mainly in the Aegean and Mediterranean regions—especially around Denizli, İzmir, Manisa, Muğla, and Aydın where ideal growing conditions create oregano known for its rich essential-oil content, vibrant color, and powerful aroma.
