Meet the Producer Michalis Georgaras – Producer of Oregano Essential Oil

In November, Michalis Georgaras  from Aetheleon Farm in Nothern Greece will be joining Oliveology. On Saturday 25th of November and Monday 27th of November you will get the chance to spend time with Michalis at our shop at Borough Market.

Michalis produces our premium quality oregano organic essential oil in his small family-run farm. Driven by his love for essential oils and especially their therapeutic properties, Michalis started experimenting with growing Greek herb varieties in his small farm in Nothern Greece. Soon after, the first oregano oil production became a reality. The small farm expanded and the production gradually grew.

Oregano is one of the most popular Mediterranean herbs and has been used since antiquity as a food flavouring and medicine. Of the wider category carrying the name oregano (used to define nearly 50 plants available across the world that respond to a similar flavour profile), Aetheleon grows Origanum Vulgare ssp. Hirtum (Greek oregano). This specific variety has great antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties, as well as very potent aroma and intense flavour. Aethelon’s oregano oil is therefore exceptional not only for its unique aroma and taste, but also for its healing properties.

Passionate about organic farming and biodiversity, Michalis is dedicated to maintaining a sustainable ecosystem. Apart from his organic certification, he supports the preservation of nature’s resources, while he is a keen believer in creating connections between his farm, research universities and guests.

Read more about Greek oregano on our blog and join him and Marianna at our Borough Market Shop, where he will share with you his knowledge and expertise. You will get a chance to taste the fragrant oregano essential oil and learn all about its journey from Aetheleon farm to our London shop and to your kitchen.
