Description
Our natural oregano hydrolat for foods is a high-quality culinary distillate, internationally known as Oregano Natural Hydrolat, produced in Bulgaria from the plant Origanum vulgare, belonging to the Lamiaceae family, and created specifically for safe and precise seasoning of foods and drinks. This oregano hydrolat is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh aerial parts, with the process extracting the water-soluble aromatic molecules and preserving the clean character of the oregano spice in a convenient liquid form. The aroma is distinctly strong with a spicy, herbal, and slightly bitter profile that adds depth to marinades, dressings, sauces, roasted dishes, baked goods, and craft drinks without the need for thermal extraction. The consistency is a liquid with a color ranging from colorless to slightly yellowish, which facilitates even distribution of the aroma in food and allows fine dosing for professional and home applications. Oregano is cultivated using a natural approach, without artificial enhancers, with the plant part used being the aerial herb, containing valuable aromatic components in a balanced aqueous profile. The composition of the oregano hydrolat is entirely natural, with no added preservatives and no colorants, which highlights the purity of the product and its compatibility with a wide range of food formats. The hydrolat is certified under international standards for food quality and safety, accompanied by a technical specification and a certificate of analysis, and complies with applicable European requirements for composition, labeling, and traceability. Oregano hydrolat is a guaranteed recognizable asset in professional cuisine and facilitates integration into recipe books, production sheets, and quality control systems. The uniqueness of this oregano hydrolat comes from the combination of Bulgarian plant resources, precise steam distillation, and a clearly expressed aromatic profile that carries the characteristic spicy-herbal note desired in Mediterranean and modern gastronomy. An additional advantage is its compatibility with thermal processing and cold processes, which allows use at different stages of preparation—from emulsions and syrups to baked goods and fermented products—without compromising quality and safety.

Production
The production of our natural oregano hydrolat for foods is carried out in Bulgaria, a country with long-standing traditions in aromatic-oil crops and steam distillation of herbs such as oregano and other representatives of Lamiaceae. The fresh Origanum vulgare herb is carefully selected and then undergoes controlled steam distillation, during which the aqueous phase retains the delicate water-soluble aromatic substances and forms the pure hydrolat with its characteristic spicy-herbal profile. The technological process follows good manufacturing practices and food-safety requirements, including batch validation, traceability of the oregano raw material, and strict monitoring of critical distillation parameters. Oregano hydrolat is produced according to international standards and established manufacturing requirements, with quality parameters, microbiological purity, and compliance with the specification documented at every step. All preserved technological specifications are observed to extract the beneficial constituents from the oregano herb into the aqueous phase, ensuring stable taste, clean color, and reliable sensory indicators for food applications. Small quantities of 0.010, 0.030, 0.050, 0.100, 0.200, 0.250, and 0.500 kg are stored in dark glass bottles that protect the hydrolat from light and oxidative influences during work in a kitchen or laboratory. Large quantities of 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 100, and 180 kg are stored in aluminum bottles, aluminum cans, or aluminum drums, which provide mechanical resistance, aroma protection, and easy logistics. Packaging is carried out in accordance with all international standards and European requirements for food contact, using appropriate seals and batch markings for full traceability. Oregano hydrolat is certified and standardized under international criteria for quality and safety, accompanied by a specification and documentary evidence of compliance with European legislation, including labeling and storage. Additional internal control procedures ensure consistency of the oregano aromatic profile, absence of undesirable additives, and stability of parameters during transport and long-term storage.
