Satureja Montana Oil is the volatile oil obtained from the whole plant, Satureja Montana, Lamiaceae.

Winter savory, or dwarf savory, is a smaller annual subshrub that flowers in winter. The plant grows in dense thickets, 10 to 30 cm (4 to 12 in.) high, having lanceolate, narrow leaves, short, whitish bristles and thick, sunken glands. S. montana exhibits a pleasant, aromatic scent and a slightly pungent taste. The whole herb is used (harvested when flowering and freed from the stems and the larger branches). Winter savory has a spicy, phenolic odor with a biting, almost bitter flavor, similar to summer savory.
