Also known as “wintersweet” or “joy of the mountains,”
Marjoram was known to the Greeks and Romans as a
symbol of happiness. Marjoram has been used in culinary
dishes, imparting a unique flavor to soups, stews,
dressings, and sauces. In Germany, this herb is known as
the “Goose Herb” for its traditional use in roasting geese. In
modern applications, Marjoram is valued for its calming
aroma.
