Spice Islands Marjoram 0.3 oz Glass Jar

Greek lore traces marjorams origin to the gods of Mount Olympus, where its heavenly scent and flavor were said to be favorites of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.

Even marjorams historical genus, Origanum, means joy of the mountain, a name more likely earned by the sight and smell of this fragrant herb growing on the beautiful Greek hillsides.

Despite its Mediterranean heritage, Spice Islands discovered the finest marjoram grows here, in the United States. Domestic marjoram is machine harvested and dried, which produces a cleaner product.

Marjorams subtle, savory taste is milder and less peppery than its close cousin, oregano, and is ideal for adding zest to dishes with delicate flavors. Its also an essential component in classic spice blends such as bouquet garni and herbes de Provence.
