The wild oregano of Calabria, It has a very intense aroma and grows spontaneously along the coast, in sea areas and in dry and sunny places. The harvesting of oregano is a real tradition for the Calabrians: it is harvested at the end of June, indeed it should be done on the 24th, St. John the Baptist's Day. Once collected, it is cleaned from weeds, divided into bunches, dried upside down sheltered from the sun and then stored. It can be stored for more than a year closed in paper bags or in glass jars by crumbling the threads of oregano, including leaves and flowers.

Provenance: Calabria
Calabria is at the toe of the boot, the extreme south of Italy — lapped by the splendid crystal blue Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas and separated from Sicily by the Strait of Messina. The warm climate, the beautiful colors of the sea, rocky coasts that alternate with sandy beaches, a nature that is wild and mysterious, the strong and genuine flavors of local food and the vestiges of its ancient origins make Calabria a unique place that vacationers can enjoy in both winter and summer.
Any wish can be fulfilled. Those who love nature, its scents and mysteries, can explore the Calabrian hinterland, discovering pure and unpolluted sceneries, where huge green belts alternate with blue lakes and waterfalls. On the other hand, those who prefer basking in the warm rays of the sun and dive into a crystal-clear sea can choose from the many charming localities along the long Tyrrhenian and Ionian coasts. And for those who prefer to learn about the region's past, Calabria, the cradle of Magna Graecia and land of ancient settlements, is full of splendid churches, monasteries, castles, palaces and towns where age-old traditions still survive.
The provinces of Calabria are: Catanzaro (regional capital), Reggio Calabria, Cosenza, Crotone and Vibo Valentia.
