From Mediterranean Hillsides to Quiet Evenings

An ancient herb of joy, comfort and slow living.

- Native to Cyprus and southern Turkey, Marjoram has flavored Mediterranean kitchens and gardens for over three millennia.

- The Greeks called it "amaracus" and wove it into wedding crowns as a symbol of happiness and devotion.

- Its soft, sweet-camphoraceous character comes from a delicate balance of terpinen-4-ol and cis-sabinene hydrate, captured through gentle steam distillation.
