Greek oregano is the herb that defines Mediterranean cooking ‚ bold, earthy, and slightly peppery, with a clean herbal character that holds up in high-heat applications. It's the essential herb for tomato-based pasta sauces, pizza, Greek salads, and marinades. The dried form is actually more intensely flavored than fresh, making it the right choice for everyday cooking. Partners naturally with thyme, basil, rosemary, sage, and marjoram.
