The Cretan dittany is considered the king of Cretan herbs! Renowned since antiquity for its medicinal properties, it was prescribed by Hippocrates and mentioned by Aristotle. Native only to the Cretan mountains, it grows wild in the mountainsides, gorges and it is also known as ‘erontas’ (love) as only the most ardent young would climb to such dangerous lengths to collect a bunch of its pink blooms and present it as a love token! Traditionally cultivated and organically grown, it is collected when aromas and essential oils are at their peak. Only the best parts of the plant are carefully selected.
