HONEY AROMA

Honey aroma is a perennial plant Origanum vulgare up to 30 cm in height, distinguished by a bright and rich scent reminiscent of a blend of marjoram and mint notes. Leaves and young shoots are harvested both fresh and dried; their mass is approximately 170–200 g per plant, and the yield of green mass reaches 3.2–3.5 kg/m².

Culinarily, honey aroma is widely used as a seasoning for vegetable, potato, and meat dishes. It can be added to mushroom marinades and used when preparing drinks – from kvass to vodka infusions. In home baking, it pairs wonderfully with jellies, syrups, and jellies, enhancing aroma and taste.

In addition to gastronomic properties, the plant has healing qualities: the grass has a calming effect, improves sleep, normalizes intestinal function and is beneficial for women over 40 years old. In folk medicine, it is used for allergic reactions in children.

Honey aroma is also valued in perfumery and cosmetics: essential oil from leaves can be used for soap fragrance, production of colognes and toilet waters. Moreover, leaves are sometimes used as a natural repellent against moths and other insects.
