MarnaMaria Mediterranean Oregano

Oregano imported from the mountains of Greece

Found predominantly in Greece, Western European, and Mexican cooking, Oregano has become a staple ingredient for many dishes. It’s versatility makes it easy to use and its flavor easily compliments many others, making it an important spice to have on hand.

While Oregano is grown in many parts of the world, many argue that the best is found in the mountains of Greece. This makes sense as the word Oregano means “Joy of the Mountain,” coming from the ancient Greek origins of the word, “oros” meaning mountain and “ganos” meaning joy.

Also known as “Wild Marjoram,” this herb is closly related to the marjoram plant. While marjoram tends to have a sweeter and lighter flavor, Oregano takes on a more depth, with a slightly more bitterand pungent flavor making it an excellent choice for baked dishes such as pizzas and roasts. Oregano leaves have a round shape which contrast with the similar looking, elliptical, marjoram leaves.

It is said that Oregano became more popular in Western societey after the end of World War II. Soldiers came home with a new favorite meal, pizza, with Oregano being a commonly found ingredient added to for flavor.
