Oregano leaves come from the Origanum vulgare plant, a perennial herb that grows in bushy clusters with woody stems and small oval-shaped leaves. Native to the Mediterranean region, this plant produces tiny purple or pink flowers in late summer that attract pollinators. The leaves are harvested during peak growth periods when they're fully mature but still tender, preserving their optimal aroma and flavor. Fresh oregano leaves have a vibrant green color with a slightly textured surface and a distinctive fragrance.

The harvested leaves are thoroughly cleaned to remove stems, debris, and dust, before being dried under controlled conditions to preserve their natural color, aroma, and structure. This drying process helps retain the leaf's essential oils, giving it a crisp texture that is both lightweight and durable. The leaves can be left intact or gently crushed, depending on the intended use, while maintaining their appearance and potency for cooking and formulation purposes.

Dried oregano leaves have a deep green colour with subtle brown undertones and a delicate texture. They have an earthy, herbaceous aroma and retain their flavour and structure well over time, making them suitable for blending, infusing, or incorporating into various products. The uniform leaf size ensures even distribution in recipes or formulation projects.

This product offers a natural combination of aroma, texture, and appearance. Its preserved leaves have a consistent quality that makes them suitable for use in various settings, including commercial kitchens, personal cooking projects, and formulation work.

Oregano leaves have various applications in cooking, including adding flavor to sauces, soups, stews, marinades, roasted vegetables, and meat dishes. They can also be used in herb blends and spice mixes for consistent seasoning, or infused into oils. In addition to culinary uses, dried oregano leaves can be incorporated into soaps, bath products, and lotions for their natural texture and fragrance. The product's versatility extends beyond cooking and cosmetics, with potential uses in crafting, potpourri blends, visual displays, and educational collections that highlight herb morphology and aromatic properties.
