This oregano is not for the faint of heart.

This oregano is potent stuff. Its strong flavors sing on pizza, sandwiches, pasta sauces and salad dressings. It’s made by Daphnis & Chloe, a small collective with a mission of supporting small organic farmers in Greece and bringing the country’s best herbs and plants to the globe.

If their name sounds familiar, it's because it's based on a famous ancient Greek romance novel by Longus. In classic Ancient Greek fashion, the story involves two lovers, separated by misadventures. Eventually, they reunite and live happily ever after — just like you and this aromatic spice.

Details:

  • Intensely scented and powerfully flavored oregano Sourced from small organic farms in mountainous ranges in Greece
  • Product of Greece
  • Dimensions: 17g

Avery ★★★★★

The scent hits you the moment you open the bag—this is the real deal, not the dusty jar stuff from the supermarket. I crumbled it over a simple margherita and the whole kitchen smelled like a Greek hillside for an hour. Definitely potent, so start light if you're used to mild oregano.

Half a teaspoon was all it took to transform my otherwise ordinary pasta sauce into something with real depth. It's got that wild, almost peppery kick you just don't find in supermarket jars, and it held up beautifully even after simmering for twenty minutes.
