Premium Quality Oregano

More intense, spicier, and more authentic: Discover genuine Origanum onites – harvested in the mountains of Crete for an unparalleled aroma.
Our premium oregano is far more than just a simple culinary herb. For this exceptional quality, only the very tops of the plant are hand-harvested when their color and aroma are at their peak. After natural drying in the protective shade of the trees, it is carefully milled in traditional hammer mills and immediately packaged to fully preserve its essential oils and unique properties.
The Uniqueness of the "Onites" Variety
Cretan oregano (Origanum onites) differs significantly from conventional mainland varieties. It is even spicier, more intense, and richer in essential oils. In Crete, it is the indispensable ingredient for "dakos" (rusks with tomatoes and mizithra cheese), smoked meats, and, of course, the classic Greek salad. Whether in sauces, on pizza, focaccia, or combined with fine feta cheese – it's the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.
Its quality highlights:
- Premium quality: Only the most aromatic parts of the plant, harvested from June to August.
- Gentle processing: Natural shade drying for maximum preservation of aromas.
- 100% natural product: No preservatives, colorings, or artificial additives.
- Versatile & Pure: Vegan, vegetarian, and naturally gluten-free.
GATTINO's tip: Awaken the dormant aromas! Whether for salads, meat, fish, or vegetables: Briefly rub the oregano between your palms or grind it with a drizzle of GATTINO olive oil in a mortar and pestle before sprinkling it over your food. This will allow its full, intense bouquet to unfold even more beautifully.
