From plant to harvest

Marjoram is native to the eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus and Turkey) and is mainly grown in Egypt. It is also grown in Morocco, Tunisia, Spain and France.

Marjoram is an annual aromatic plant that belongs to the same family as mint and wild thyme. Although closely related botanically to oregano, marjoram is a distinct species with greyish-green leaves and shell-shaped bracts. Marjoram’s hairy stems bear small white flowers in short spikes.

The plant is harvested during flowering and then distilled fresh.
