OREGANO
Nome scientifico
Origanum vulgare
Descrizione
Oregano is one of the plants most deeply intertwined with the memory of rural kitchens. Dried, hung in bundles under the sheds, it became a sign of the season, of harvest, of preparations for winter. It is the herb that connects the air of kitchens to the sun-drenched fields, recalling with every breath the ancient gesture of the summer harvest.
Percorso Olfattivo
Dry, bold, warm.
An aroma that slightly tickles the nose and immediately brings to mind sun, warm stones, and traditional dishes.
Curiosità
In Sicily, it was considered a household good luck charm: a sprig of it was placed near the door to ward off bad luck and "freshen the air in the house."
Women collected it in the early hours of the morning, when the plant is at its most fragrant and the dew accentuates its essential oils.
