Native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia, Oregano is Greek for ‘joy of the mountain,” and it is also known as a wild marjoram. A member of the mint family, not as sweet as marjoram, and with a stronger peppery flavor and aroma, Greek Oregano provides a robust, zesty addition to Greek, Italian and Mexican dishes. It is milder than Mexican oregano.
The flavor complements all tomato dishes and is good with meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, lamb, game, sausage, artichokes, pasta, beans, and egg dishes.
