TURKISH ORIGIN · CUT LEAF
Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
Dried oregano leaf from Turkish crops — whole leaf, cut at 3–5 mm or ground, with volatile oil tested for pizza, sauce and seasoning manufacturers.
Dried oregano leaf from Turkish crops — whole leaf, cut at 3–5 mm or ground, with volatile oil tested for pizza, sauce and seasoning manufacturers.
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is grown widely across the Mediterranean, with Türkiye the largest exporter of dried leaf. Quality is driven by the ratio of leaf to stem and by volatile oil content, which is dominated by carvacrol and thymol.
Turkish oregano is often sold as 'leaf' with a stated stem maximum, because stem is filler — it carries far less aroma than leaf. Buyers specifying for pizza and tomato sauce usually fix both the cut size and the stem percentage.

Container loading varies with product density and packaging — typically 18–24 MT per 20′ container for whole spices and less for low-density herbs and leaf. Final packing, palletisation and container plan are confirmed per order.

Stem carries minimal volatile oil, so a high stem percentage means you are paying leaf prices for filler with little aroma. Commercial specifications therefore fix a maximum stem percentage alongside the cut size.
No. Mexican oregano is Lippia graveolens, a different genus with a more citrus-herbal note. Turkish oregano is Origanum vulgare, the standard for Mediterranean and pizza applications.
Our standard MOQ for Oregano is 1 MT per grade, so a buyer can run a trial lot through their own line before committing to a container. A 20′ container holds roughly 18–24 MT depending on product and packing; a 40′ FCL is quoted on the same basis.
Yes. 200 g–500 g samples of Oregano are supplied free of charge for evaluation; the buyer covers courier freight, or the sample can travel with the first shipment. Tell us the grade, packing form and destination and we cut the sample from the current lot.
Production runs 25–30 working days from order confirmation, depending on grade, packing and current stock. Oregano then moves to Qinzhou port, or the port you nominate; ocean transit is quoted per destination when freight is confirmed.
We typically accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) or L/C at sight for new buyers. Repeat buyers can move to negotiated terms after the first shipments.
Yes. Bag size, carton design and label content can follow your market's rules, and we send a dieline proof before the run starts. Custom packaging starts at 1,000 kg per design.
The standard set is COA, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Pesticide residue, aflatoxin, heavy metal and microbiology reports for Oregano are issued by third-party labs such as SGS, Eurofins or BV on request. We do not hold an FDA facility registration; for US imports we support your importer's FSVP and prior-notice paperwork with batch-level documents.
