Information
Oregano (Dried)
Oregano is perhaps the most iconic herb in Italian and Greek cuisine, often referred to as the "soul of pizza". Our dried oregano has a powerful, earthy, and slightly bitter flavor profile that adds depth to any dish. Unlike many other herbs, oregano retains its flavor exceptionally well when dried, and many chefs actually prefer the dried variety in sauces because the flavor is more concentrated.

This is the spice you simply must have for homemade pizza sauce, lasagna, and bolognese. But oregano is also fantastic in Greek cuisine. Try sprinkling it over feta cheese, in a Greek salad, or use it in a marinade with lemon and olive oil for lamb or chicken. It is a robust herb that can withstand long cooking times without losing character.
Just like with basil, you should crush dried oregano lightly between your palms before adding it to the pot. This "wakes up" the dormant oils in the herb and provides a much stronger scent and flavor in the finished dish.
