Sourcing
Why Turkey?
Oregano is a perennial herb that grows up to 3 feet (1 m) high. It is typically grown and used for the spice industry. The essential oil is produced through steam distilling the aerial parts of the plant. It is usually wild-harvested when the flowers bloom once or twice a year, but it can also be cultivated. Our supplier works with a network of hundreds of small-scale farmers in Turkey.
