On the remote isle of Pantelleria, artisan Gianni Busetta harvests strains of wild Greek oregano.

La Nicchia's beautifully jarred herbs taste fresh even in their dried form. Rub this fragrant herb between your fingers to release its distinctive flavor. We think you'll appreciate the difference between this oregano and more commonly found supermarket varieties, which tend to be harsh and overdried.

This exceptional product is part of NATURALMENTE ITALIANO, an international campaign sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture to promote hand-made Italian products.
