True oregano (AKA Greek Oregano) is said to have been created by the love goddess Aphrodite as a symbol of joy. Its bold and aromatic flavour has long been used in Greek, Italian and Spanish cooking. Perfect for pizza, pasta sauce or use fresh or dried to season meat and soup.
Chefs adore true oregano as it has a more assertive flavour than standard oregano. For cooking, traditionally the entire stems are harvested and dried for storage. The dried leaves are crumbled into the dish straight from the stem. The taste of dried oregano is most intense when stems are harvested while they're in flower.
