The flavour profile is earthy and warm, with a slightly bitter, peppery character that holds up beautifully through long cooking times. That makes oregano a natural choice for tomato sauces, bolognese, stews and marinades, while also adding the final authentic touch to pizza, salads and feta cheese. Choose a bulk pack for professional quality at a far better price per gram.
Rub the oregano gently between your palms before adding it to your dish. The warmth and friction awaken the herb's essential oils, making both aroma and flavour noticeably richer. In hot dishes, oregano can be added early - it handles long cooking times better than most herbs.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
How much dried oregano equals fresh oregano?
Use a 1:3 ratio - 1 teaspoon of dried oregano equals 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of fresh. Dried oregano has a more concentrated flavour because the water content is gone, so you need less of it than fresh.
When should I add oregano while cooking?
In sauces, stews and bolognese, oregano can be added early - it handles long cooking times and the flavour mellows nicely. On pizza and grilled food, it gives the most aroma when sprinkled on towards the end of baking, since high heat quickly drives off the essential oils.
How long does dried oregano last?
Stored correctly - dry, dark and airtight - dried oregano keeps its full strength for 6-12 months and can be used well beyond that. Do the aroma test: rub a little between your fingers, and if you notice a clear scent, it is still good.
