From Farm to Harvest
Falcon Herbs’ oregano is cultivated directly on our own farms in the south of Egypt, giving us full control over the crop from planting through to final packing.
- Cultivation: Grown under close in-house agricultural supervision, benefiting from the warm southern climate that supports strong essential oil development and intense aroma.
- Harvest: Leaves are hand- or machine-harvested at peak maturity, when aromatic oil concentration and flavor are at their strongest.
- Post-Harvest Handling: Harvested oregano is dried under controlled conditions to preserve its deep green color, aroma, and active compounds (including carvacrol and thymol).
- Cleaning & Sorting: Dried leaves pass through mechanical and manual sorting to remove stems and foreign matter, ensuring a clean, uniform final product.
- Quality Control: Each batch undergoes laboratory testing (microbiological, pesticide residue/MRL, and physical quality parameters) prior to export, in line with EU and international food safety standards.
