Also known as “wintersweet” or “joy of the mountains,” marjoram was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as a symbol of happiness. In Germany, the marjoram herb is known as the “Goose Herb” for its traditional use in flavouring roasted geese. Marjoram essential oil shares the rich, herbaceous flavour of its source herb and is renowned for adding a warm, unique flavour to soups, stews, dressings, and sauces. In modern applications, Marjoram oil is valued for its calming aroma when diffused or used during a soothing massage, especially after exercise.
