Oregano has many nuances of flavours that include herbal, warm and peppery notes with a slightly bitter smell. Originally it comes from the Mediterranean area. The name "oregano" comes from Greek and means something like "jewelry of the mountains". It is a must for Italian cuisine! It is also great for meat or fish dishes and is ideal for spicy salads. Dried oregano has an intense flavour and is therefore safe to cook with your food.
