Exlon Dried Oregano Leaves are sourced from high-quality oregano plants, gently dried to preserve their natural flavour, aroma, and essential oils. These leaves deliver an authentic Mediterranean touch, bringing a warm, aromatic, and slightly peppery note to culinary creations.
Our oregano leaves are processed under hygienic conditions to maintain purity and potency, offering a convenient alternative to fresh herbs for RTE meals, snacks, and spice formulations.
The rich herbal aroma and characteristic taste of Exlon Oregano make it a versatile addition to pizza toppings, sauces, marinades, soups, and bakery mixes, enhancing both flavour and presentation.
Dried oregano has a strong, warm, and slightly bitter aroma. It is widely used in pizzas, pasta, sauces, seasonings, and Mediterranean cuisine.
Mature oregano leaves are hand-harvested at their aromatic peak.
The leaves are carefully cleaned to remove impurities, soil, and foreign matter.
Leaves are air- or shade-dried under controlled temperatures to preserve essential oils and natural colour.
The dried leaves are sorted and graded for uniform quality.
Depending on the product requirement, leaves are either left whole or ground into flakes/powder form.
Finally, the dried oregano leaves are packed in food-grade, moisture-resistant materials to ensure freshness and shelf stability.
