Dried oregano also called “the delight of the mountain” in ancient Greek, is a culinary herb which stands out from all herbs with its pure distinctive scent.
Our Oregano is a kitchen cupboard essential that lends itself well to several different cuisines. There’s not much this strong, aromatic and slightly bitter ingredient can’t do.
Oregano works well with eggs, cheese, fish, meat, and poultry; use it to flavour quiches, frittatas, savoury tarts, pizzas, and pasta. Add to stuffing’s and savoury crumbles, sprinkle onto salads and into salad dressings or use to enhance the flavour of vegetables (it works especially well with tomatoes!)
