Oregano

Spices & seasonings

Oregano is an intense, pungent herb with slightly bitter and peppery notes, gaining aroma when dried. It is an indispensable component of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. It pairs particularly well with tomato sauces, pizza, pasta, and grilled vegetables.

Oregano is frequently combined with garlic, salt, pepper, tomato purée, and onion in recipes. It is a key ingredient in Italian-inspired dishes such as "Tortellini al Forno," "Vegetarian Spaghetti Bolognese," and "Pizza Dough with Tomato Sauce." It is also widely used in casseroles and Mediterranean roasted vegetables.
