Product Overview

Beni Suef Marjoram Excellence

Egypt is the world's leading exporter of marjoram (Origanum majorana L.), and the Beni Suef Governorate produces the finest grades available on the international market. Egyptian marjoram is characterized by its sweet, complex herbaceous aroma with distinctive floral undertones and high volatile oil content — properties directly linked to the region's warm days, cool nights, and calcium-rich soils.

HS Herbs supplies Egyptian marjoram in cut-and-sifted, rubbed, and powder forms, processed using gentle mechanical methods that maximize leaf-to-stem ratio and preserve the delicate essential oil profile. Our marjoram is harvested during the second cutting (known for peak oil concentration), dried under shade, and graded by color, particle size, and volatile oil content.

Egyptian marjoram is an essential ingredient in European culinary seasoning blends, sausage and meat processing, herbal tea formulations, and pharmaceutical preparations. HS Herbs is a trusted supplier to major spice houses, food manufacturers, and tea blenders across 40+ countries.
