Bioagricola Bosco

The best oregano I have tasted.

I bought your organic oregano from Sicily, here in Milan at Esselunga. Fragrant, delicious and Mediterranean. The best spice to enrich the many dishes of Italian cuisine. Thanks to you for all this.

More ... much more - It's easy to say oregano. If the herbs are wild plants, oregano is more so. His very large family, extended to marjoram, is a labyrinth - and here Crete has something to do with it - in which even a Nobel Prize for the taxonomy of aromatic herbs in the Mediterranean areas would be unwilling to risk. The mother nurseries, which produce (or import), and the child nurseries or garden centers, which they sell, do not collaborate beyond an anemic label, when it exists. So, without knowing the variety of my oregano and marjoram oregano, I distinguish them at a glance of the nose and eye: the first by the greater intensity of the aroma and the almost prostrate white inflorescence, the second by the high pink inflorescence. But I doubt that the chromatic distinction is universally reliable, circulating public reproductions in inverted colors. This psalm to conclude, in glory, that what we sprinkle from the jar absent-mindedly bought at the supermarket is oregano in name and a bit of aroma, but in fact? The variety, origin, purity, harvesting or cultivation methods are unknown ... Of the Oregano of the Bioagricola Bosco - of a variety that can be translated into ... Sicilian - we know the useful and the necessary, which is described on the blue card inserted in the blister. The delectable emanates from the superior, marked and persistent aromaticity of the content, as evidenced by the same cardboard that I reuse as a drawer perfume. I discovered it among the Esselunga tomatoes, aristocratically distanced from the under-glass aromas, which can be better placed among the flavorings.
