The oregano of the Greek Mount Olympus is known worldwide for its rich taste and aroma. It is mainly used as a spice in food, in salads, sauces and is also considered essential in marinating meat due to its enrichment with vegetable fibers.
Oregano is a native wild plant. One may, upon observing it, describe it as a short bush with a woody trunk and no elasticity.
It is a very popular plant for its culinary properties. That it creates beautiful smells for our salads and meals is a common secret that no one can deny in any case.
It is a necessary ingredient of success for every Greek and not only cooking recipe.
Oregano is also considered a medicinal and aromatic plant. Its branches are thin and form flowering heads at the ends while the leaves are egg-shaped, fluffy and gray.
When we rub the leaves of oregano, a distinct and pleasant aromatic odor emerges, which, however, cannot surpass the wonderful aroma that comes from the flowers, which, together with their pinkish-red color, form an extraordinary image that one encounters, easily or with difficulty, in Greek nature.
