Découvrez notre 100% Organic Handcrafted Oregano Essential Oil
Oregano (Origanum Vulgare) is an emblematic aromatic plant of the Mediterranean basin, whose Greek name means “joy of the mountains”. Valued since Antiquity for its robust nature, it is cultivated for its flowering tops. At Essenciagua, we carefully distill the fresh, 100% organic flowering tops of this plant, sourced from our beautiful Occitanie region in France.
Oregano Essential Oil is traditionally used to flavor your culinary preparations, bringing a warm and spicy note to Mediterranean dishes. Its powerful and characteristic scent evokes the herbs of Provence, with warm, spicy, and slightly camphoraceous notes. A fragrance that invites a sensory journey into the heart of sun-drenched garrigues, contributing to an invigorating and comforting atmosphere.

La Plante Oregano
Partie de la plante: Flowering Summit
Origine: France
A formidable antibacterial that also promotes good bacteria, Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a species of herbaceous, perennial plant in the Lamiaceae family, also known as Wild Marjoram or Perennial Marjoram, among others. This small plant, about 50 cm tall, thrives in dry, arid soil. Its small green leaves have a distinctive taste and smell.
Oregano is sometimes confused with Marjoram (Origanum majorana) or “garden oregano”, with which it shares several characteristics, notably its medicinal and aromatic virtues.
Widely used in our kitchens to enhance the taste of sauces and meats, Origanum vulgaris has a distinctive flavor and odor.
In aromatherapy, the flowering tops are used to extract the precious essential oil, rich in carvacrol, and the hydrolat. These two products, derived from the distillation of Oregano, are both recommended for their antibacterial, antiparasitic, immunity-stimulating and digestive properties.
