About Oregano Leaves
Orgegano, also known as "Wild Marjoram," is the leaf taken from the Origanum plant. Oreganum is a member of the mint plant family.
The flavour and strength of oregano is highly dependent to the region and climate it was grown in.
In the colder climates of North America and Europe, oregano has a sweeter taste a gentler aroma. This oregano is used to help flavour meat, sausages, salads, and soups.
In hotter, drier climates of the Mediterranean, oregano has a fuller flavour with a slightly bitter and peppery taste. This robust, hotter flavour makes it great herb for tomato sauces, pizzas and grilled meats..
