Harvested by hand on organic farms in Crete and Central Greece, Daphnis and Chloe’s Sweet Marjoram is carefully dried to preserve flavor and aroma. A cousin to oregano and known as the star herb in the French blend herbes de Provence, marjoram is sweet and fragrant. This tender Greek varietal is especially warm and herbal, with a slightly minty aroma that lends itself well to spice mixes, roasted meats, vegetables, salads, soups and more. Ionians rely on it in lentil soup, a dish considered a local staple on the island.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use in any recipe that calls for marjoram. But because of their potent, well-preserved flavor, you may need less than when using dried herbs from the grocery store. Add to taste.
Some of the finest Mediterranean herbs can be found in Greece, growing in wild undisturbed microclimates and, over the years, developing flavor profiles and aromas unique to that country. They are a well-kept secret by the locals, and most of the herbs have been inaccessible to cooks outside Greece — until now. Daphnis and Chloe, an Athens-based culinary herb company, partners with local foragers and farmers to harvest limited-production herbs and distribute them internationally, and we at Milk Street are bringing them to you.
