100% organic and produced in small batches, this Cretan diktamos—also known as dittany of Crete—was hand-picked by Gregory Pappas and naturally dried for six months. This rare aromatic herb grows wild in the mountains of Crete and has been part of the island’s culinary and cultural traditions for centuries.
Steep it as an herbal infusion and enjoy its distinctive, softly earthy aroma on its own or with Greek honey.
