Oregano, scientifically known as Origanum vulgare, is a perennial herb that belongs to the mint family, Lamiaceae. Its name is derived from the Greek words “oros” (mountain) and “ganos” (joy), reflecting its natural habitat and the pleasure it brings to our palates. With a rich culinary history spanning centuries, Oregano has become a staple in Mediterranean dishes and gained popularity worldwide for its unique and enticing taste.
Our Organic Oregano is cultivated using environmentally friendly practices and without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. We are committed to promoting sustainable agriculture and preserving the integrity of the ingredients we offer.

When it comes to cooking, Oregano is an incredibly versatile herb. Its distinctive flavour profile blends exceptionally well with a wide range of ingredients, elevating the taste of various dishes. In Greek cuisine, Oregano is a key component of classic dishes such as moussaka, souvlaki, and Greek salads. Its earthy and slightly peppery undertones add depth and character to these traditional recipes.
Italian cuisine also heavily relies on the enchanting flavour of Oregano. It is a fundamental ingredient in tomato-based pasta sauces, pizzas, and herb-infused oils. The combination of ripe tomatoes and Oregano creates a harmonious marriage of tastes, transporting you to the vibrant streets of Naples or Rome with every bite.
Aside from its traditional uses, Oregano’s versatility extends to contemporary recipes as well. Sprinkle our Organic Oregano over grilled meats, such as succulent lamb chops or juicy chicken breasts, to add a delightful herbal note that complements the smoky char from the grill. Its fragrance and taste also harmonize wonderfully with seafood and fish, enhancing their natural flavors without overpowering them.
Salads, both green and grain-based, can benefit greatly from the addition of Oregano. A pinch of dried Oregano adds a touch of complexity to leafy greens, transforming a simple salad into a burst of freshness and aroma. Whisked into salad dressings, Oregano lends a zesty and herbaceous kick that elevates the overall taste experience.
