Wild Oregano (Origanum vulgare) and Savory
During high summer, the rocky limestone slopes of Trebeshinë are saturated with the pungent fragrance of flowering wild oregano and winter savory.
Intense solar irradiance prompts elevated biosynthesis of volatile carvacrol and thymol essential oils.
Sustainable Hand Harvesting and Shade Curing
Foragers trim only upper flowering sprigs with shears, leaving basal root crowns intact in rock crevices.
Shade drying preserves vivid herbal color and robust aromatics prized in traditional slow-cooked cuisine.
