DETAILS My name in Greek means Mountain Joy and is said to have been given to me by the goddess Aphrodite as a symbol of happiness. The ancient Greeks were the first to use me, but my popularity quickly spread to the Romans and as far away as Asia. I am the quintessential, flavorful herb of the Mediterranean diet, and have been used for millennia for my flavor and medicinal properties.

I am a 100% USDA certified organic product! FLAVOR I am deeply aromatic with savory, earthy qualities throughout and notes of lemon, black pepper and mint. I am the perfect accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes of vegetables, lamb, or fish, and a staple for dressings and marinades.

The source & history of Vordonia oregano I am grown and harvested by hand on the rocky hillsides of Mount Taygetos near the town of Vordonia by local farmers who have been practicing their craft for many generations. I am considered a panacea, being used to encourage health, happiness and even good luck.
