It becomes particularly aromatic when it is processed in dried form, as here. This brings out its essential oils and powerful, slightly spicy aroma particularly well. ­ Our organic oregano comes from the variety Origanum vulgare ssp. hirtum, which is native to the Mediterranean region. Its taste is reminiscent of a mixture of thyme and marjoram, but is more bitter and intense. ­ The name “oregano” comes from Greek: oros means “mountain” and ganos means “jewelry” – in other words, the “jewelry of the mountains”. The ancient Greeks already knew it not only as a spice, but also as a medicinal plant with natural antibacterial and antiviral properties. ­ What do I use oregano for? ­ A real all rounder! Whether as a topping on pizza, to refine tomato sauces or as an aromatic seasoning for meat, fish and vegetable dishes – oregano brings the typical taste of Mediterranean cuisine into your kitchen. Try it in herb oils or on baked potatoes. You'll see: there's always a touch of Greece!
