Product Description

More than just a tasty pizza topping, oregano has been used for centuries by European cuisines to animate their dishes and remedy their ailments. Acclaimed for its unique taste, oregano is derived from the Greek oregano or acrid herb, which etymologically combines the Greek words for mountain and delight in to properly describe the plant's delectable and hilly origins. Recognized by its aromatic scent, many have attributed recovery from stomach pains, respiratory problems and sore throats to the fragrant herb, and routinely use it as an antiseptic. However, its true calling lies in the kitchen, where its hallmark flavor transforms dishes as its flavor evolves. Harvested from the hills outside of Argos, Greece, our wild oregano continues pleasing palates long after it's been devoured. Harbored in a dry, shaded space, this oregano is dried in optimally cool temperatures to preserve its dynamic character. At first taste, our oregano imparts a classic bitterness that awakens the tongue and freshens the entire mouth before evolving into a bold, palatable spice. And returning to its mint-family roots, this oregano comes to express its naturally sweet essence, coating the tongue with a soothing taste that rounds out any dish. Perfect crushed over a salad with olive oil and lemon, rolled into meatballs, or dashed over your favorite pan-seared fish, our Greek oregano outdoes its international cousins through its wild, original, unequivocal flavor.
