Wild Mountain Oregano
Our wild moutnain oregano now available in large size 11 oz pack.
The word oregano has Greek roots as it comes from the Greek words oros (gr. mountain) and ganos (gr. joy). Oregano has been used for centuries in culinary recipes, but has several important medicinal properties as well. Wild Olea Greek oregano is definitely NOT the same as the type found in grocery stores. It is amazingly fresh and aromatic with a peppery, zesty, lemony flavor, vibrantly green and pungent. It is grown at high altitude on mount Parnon free of pollution, where the soil is mineral rich. Furthermore, it has an abundance of antioxidants, plus potent antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and carminative (digestive) properties. It also contains vitamins E and K, fiber, iron, manganese, tryptophan, and omega-3 fatty acids (source: Journal of Agricultural Chemistry, PLOS ONE, Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database).
Uses: Try sprinkling our oregano on your salads or pizza. Add it in marinades to enhance the flavor of your vegetables, fish, and meat. Or simply combine it with our Olea Gold for dipping warm toasted bread. This is a favorite snack of the Chronis family!
Olive Oil Sommelier
A six-day intense course about olive oil in NYC!! This is an excellent course and unique, on the aspect that you get instructors with vast experience in the olive oil from all around the world. With this course, the knowledge on olive oil is expanded greatly. We find this course essential for any one in olive oil production/food industry and we strongly suggest it to people that want to learn more about the “liquid gold”. Demosthenis Chronis, owner of Olea Estates, has successfully completed the full Olive Oil Sommelier Certification.
