Marjoram

It's believed that Marjoram is indigenous to the Mediterranean region and Asia Minor (modern day Turkey) and has been used since ancient times. For many years Oregano was called "wild marjoram" and while the plants do not look particularly the same the flavor is similar. Many botanists believe that they are very closely related but chefs will tell you that the flavor differences are really quite pronounced. Our Marjoram is shipped from Egypt. Fun fact: The ladies of medieval times used it to form fragrant bouquets and perfume their baths.
