Oregano has a robust, warm, earthy herbal flavor. It’s commonly used in Mediterranean cooking to season sauces, marinades, soups, roasted vegetables, pasta sauces, grilled meats, and pizza.
Store oregano in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain potency and flavor.
Gently crush dried leaves between your palms to release essential oils. Whole leaves also release fragrance when crushed or simmered in sauces or oils.
Dried oregano is listed as an "Ingredient," while freshly prepared or fresh-grated options are described as "Ready to Eat."
Whole oregano leaves are described as aromatic and fragrant when crushed or simmered, with a rustic texture and vibrant green color that preserves natural oils and taste.
