There’s a reason we obsess over the little things. At SICILY GIRL, quality begins in the field and finishes in your kitchen - and our Hand Planted Oregano is a tiny jar of Sicily you’ll reach for every day. Wildly grown in the fertile fields of Sicily, our oregano captures the sun, wind, and centuries-old family tradition that make Sicilian herbs unforgettable.
We’re proud to offer one of the most honest, flavorful herbs you’ll find among Sicilian products online. We’re not a faceless brand - we are people who love food, family, and the flavors that bring both together. When you choose SICILY GIRL, you’re choosing herbs that are hand planted, hand picked, hung to dry the traditional way, and hand packaged with care. That human touch is everything to us.
Why “hand planted” matters
“Hand Planted Oregano” isn’t a marketing line - it’s how we grow and respect this herb. We are purposely planting and caring for our oregano among the wild herbs that have been allowed to grow in the rare Mediterranean soil and climate of Sicily. The result is a more potent aroma, richer taste, and a character that no dried herbs from large producers could come close to. Taking good care of herbs from the time they are seeds to being in jars means the difference is perceived in every pinch.
Traditional drying for full flavor
Once the oregano is harvested, the next step in processing is hanging it upside down for drying—an old, but still the best way to do it, which takes time and keeps the oil and scent intact. The leaves' flavor and aroma are thus kept in full strength, as in the case of the ones loved by the Sicilians for ages. The output is such an oregano that is still very much alive with its taste and goes well with not only pizza, pasta sauces, and roasted vegetables but also dressings and any dish that could use a Mediterranean touch.
Hand packaged - because presentation matters
Once dried, each batch is hand packaged and boxed by our small team. We care about how the oregano reaches your door: neat, fresh, and tasting as it came straight from a Sicilian windowsill. That personal handling is part of our promise - every jar represents our dedication to authenticity and the joy of real food.
