While oregano is undeniably the king of Italian spices, oregano Alanya is a true Turkish delight.
Grown in and around the coastal Turkish resort city of Alanya, this breed of oregano has a robust flavor and pungent scent. Try it the next time you make pizza or pasta sauce at home, or use it to kick up your marinades for lamb, chicken or beef dishes, or for salads, sauces, soups, stews, meat dishes and dressings.
But this leafy Mediterranean beauty isn’t just about flavor. The seeds, roots, flowers, leaves and stems of Oregano Alanya are equally valued for their ability to fight bacteria, and their antioxidant properties equal those of the most popular fruits and vegetables. Oregano Alanya is considered one of the world’s most efficient antimicrobials in its essential form, beating out thyme and sage in that department. This powerful breed of oregano can protect your body against free radicals – molecules that can cause heart disease, cancer or other illnesses – and may ward off viruses and other microorganisms.
The versatility of Oregano Alanya is virtually unparalleled; it can be used dried, as an oil or fresh from the garden.
