Türkiye is the world's benchmark origin for oregano, and the Aegean around Aydın leads it. Region drives carvacrol, aroma, and essential-oil percentage — here is how the three main ranges compare.
BenchmarkAydın and the wider Aegean are the reference origin for Turkish oregano. Hot, dry summers and calcareous soils push carvacrol and essential-oil percentages that buyers worldwide index to.
SecondarySecondary to the Aegean by volume but a deep supply base. Slightly lower oil percentages on average; widely specified for food-service and blend programs.
Short seasonSmaller export share and feeds more of the domestic Turkish market. Disciplined drying matters here if the lot is heading for export-grade aroma retention.
