Most herb lovers agree that Wild Greek Oregano is the most flavorful, and arguably the best oregano in the world. A member of the mint family, Wild Greek Oregano is a robust and distinctive herb used in sauces and marinades since ancient times. Its leaves contain more oil glands than ordinary oregano giving it the potent and pungent flavor of the Mediterranean.

This wild herb grows abundantly on Mt. Taygetos, the highest mountain in Lakonía, Greece. Its name means "Joy of the mountain". The Greek name origanon refers to oros “mountain”, and the verb ganousthai “delight in”, because oregano prefers the higher altitudes of the Mediterranean climate.

The moment you smell this potent Mediterranean herb you will understand that when you cook with Agota Greek Gourmet you are cooking with products of the highest quality available on the market.
