About Winter Savory
Winter savory is a hardy, evergreen perennial native to the mountains of southern Europe, the Balkans and North Africa. It has narrow, glossy leaves and small white or pale purple flowers. It is closely related to summer savory (Satureja hortensis), an annual with a softer flavour. Both have been used in European cooking for centuries, especially with beans and lentils, which is why savory is called "the bean herb" in Germany (Bohnenkraut). The oil is produced mainly in the Balkans, especially Albania, Croatia and Bosnia, as well as in France and Spain.
Aroma and Composition
- CarvacrolUsually the main component, often 30% to 60%, giving the strong, warm, spicy character.
- ThymolPresent in varying amounts.
- Gamma-Terpinene and p-CymenePrecursors of carvacrol and thymol, adding freshness.
- Linalool and BorneolMinor components.
The composition varies by origin and plant population, so buyers should request a GC report.
Applications

- Natural personal care products, such as soaps and foot care
- Natural household cleaning products
- Animal and poultry feed additives
- Aromatherapy blends, used carefully

Research Interest
Winter savory oil and its main compound carvacrol have been studied in laboratory settings for antimicrobial and antioxidant activity. These are research findings, not approved medical claims.
Important Safety Note
Winter Savory Oil is a strong skin and mucous membrane irritant because of its high carvacrol and thymol content. It must always be heavily diluted and should never be applied undiluted. It should not be used on children, during pregnancy, or by people taking blood-thinning medicines. Avoid contact with eyes. Not for internal use except as a regulated food flavour. Keep out of reach of children. Use within IFRA standards and local regulations.
Blending Tips
In small amounts, winter savory blends well with rosemary, lavender, lemon, pine, oregano, thyme and bergamot.
