Wholesale Dried Oregano Bag - Made in Italy

Oregano is very common in the Mediterranean basin. It is believed that there are more than 50 species, but the most sought-after and used in culinary art is wild oregano, which grows wild under the Calabrian sun. Oregano is widely used in traditional Calabrian recipes and is as essential as Tropea onions in tomato salads, a popular summer side dish on Calabrian tables. In Calabria, oregano is harvested mainly in June when the plant is in bloom. Typical Calabrian custom calls for drying after harvest: after forming large bunches, the plants are dried upside down in a dry place away from the sun and stored in paper bags. Unlike all other aromatic plants, oregano is the only one that reaches its peak fragrance only after drying. Widely used in aromatherapy, its infusions are an excellent remedy for coughs and digestive disorders.
