Dried oregano, hand-picked in Crete. Sun-dried, with no additives. Up to 4% carvacrol—the compound responsible for its intense aroma.
Flavor: Spicy, peppery, intensely aromatic.
Characteristics:
-100% oregano from Gouves, Crete
-Grown naturally by local farmers, no fertilizers, no irrigation
-Up to 4% carvacrol, a measurable indicator of quality
-Hand-picked in the early morning hours, sun-dried
-No additives, no artificial drying
- Ideal for salads, tomatoes, pizza, souvlaki, marinades
The soils around Gouves are barren, mineral-rich, and poorly irrigated. Under natural stress, oregano plants produce more essential oils. That is geology, not marketing.
We work directly with small family farms.
We know their land, we know their methods. No fertilization, no artificial irrigation. Quality, not yield.
Use: In Cretan cuisine, oregano is a staple: salads, tomatoes, pizza, souvlaki, marinades, dips. It pairs particularly well with olive oil, as the essential oils distribute evenly in the fat.
Storage: Store in a dry, airtight, and cool place. Full flavor in the first few months after opening.
If you want to buy dried Greek oregano and pay attention to its origin and carvacrol content, you'll find both here.
Free shipping on orders over €65.
Processing time: 3–4 business days
Shipping with DHL. Delivery details and tracking information will be sent in your confirmation email.
Packaging: Sustainably packaged, hermetically sealed to protect the aroma.

What's behind your spice/herb from Crete-Manufacture?
From local farmers
The farmers in Gouves cultivate oregano without fertilizer and without artificial irrigation, following principles that have been established for generations. The plants grow slowly under natural stress and thereby form up to 4% carvacrol. We do not work with
dealers, but directly with these farms, because we personally know their properties and their way of working.
Harvesting and drying
Harvesting takes place in the early morning hours, when the essential oils are most concentrated and before the daytime heat dissipates the aroma. The plants are hand-picked and sun-dried, without machines, without artificial heat. It is the only process that consistently yields 4% carvacrol, which is why we work in small batches.
In the kitchen
Oregano best develops its aroma in combination with olive oil. Half the usual amount is sufficient – this is not a disadvantage, but a sign of quality. We personally select each producer, not based on certificates, but on what ends up in the package. Those who want to buy Greek oregano will find a product here that delivers on its promises.
Wissenswertes
Wilder Oregano aus dem Bergland Kretas. Handgepflückt zur Blüte, an der Sonne getrocknet, ohne Zusätze. Höhenlage, kalkhaltiger Boden und über 300 Sonnentage sorgen für ein besonders kräftiges, würziges Aroma.
Klassisch zu allem, was mediterran ist. Über Tomaten, Feta, Ofengemüse, gegrilltem Fleisch, Pizza oder in Marinaden mit Olivenöl und Zitrone. Am besten kurz vor dem Servieren zwischen den Fingern zerreiben, damit das Aroma frei wird.
Trocken, dunkel und gut verschlossen lagern, am besten in einem Glas oder einer Blechdose. Vor Licht und Feuchtigkeit schützen. So bleibt das Aroma etwa ein bis zwei Jahre voll erhalten.
