{"title":"Greek Mountain Oregano","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you have only ever used supermarket dried oregano — the grey-green powder in a small glass jar, mildly fragrant, fading fast — you have not yet experienced oregano. Greek mountain oregano (Origanum vulgare hirtum) is a different ingredient entirely: wild-grown at altitude on the hillsides of the Peloponnese, Crete, and the Aegean islands, it develops an intensity of essential oils that cultivated varieties cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difference is visceral. Open a bag of our Greek mountain oregano and the scent hits you immediately — resinous, warm, slightly camphorous, intensely aromatic in a way that makes the supermarket equivalent seem like a shadow. In cooking, a pinch of good Greek oregano transforms a simple grilled chicken, a Greek salad, a lamb chop, or a roasted aubergine in a way that ordinary oregano simply does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur oregano is hand-harvested from wild plants at peak flowering (when the essential oil content is highest), dried naturally in the sun in the traditional style, and packed to preserve maximum freshness. It comes from specific hillside microregions in southern Greece where the combination of altitude, climate, and soil type produces the most aromatic specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the highest-margin products in our range and one of the most immediately impressive for first-time buyers. Once experienced, customers reorder consistently.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/0643\/1830\/collections\/greek-oregano.jpg?v=1776595642","url":"https:\/\/checkout.backtonatureorganicfoods.co.uk\/collections\/greek-oregano.oembed","provider":"Back to Nature Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
