Oregano - Origan - Origanus Vulgare (EN)

English - Français

Oregano is a plant of the Mediterranean region. Used since the classical era, it was regarded as the symbol of happiness and love. Today, it is used primarily for cooking, especially in Italy and Portugal. 

Oregano is rounder and lighter in flavour than thyme. Dried oregano has a stronger flavour than the fresh, and when used with basil, creates the distinctive signature flavour in Italian dishes. It is almost the indispensable ingredient for pizzas, flavoured breads, and feta cheese.

Oregano is believed to be rich in fiber and is considered for usage in maintaining the respiratory health. Dried oregano is also believed to give relief to painful arthritic swellings when applied in bags as a warm application. Oregano is said to perhaps have the same medicinal benefits as thyme.

How do we use oregano in our cooking?

- Flavouring of tomato sauce

- Flavouring of grilled meat, such as beef, lamb, pork, poultry and fish

- Flavouring of stir-fried vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini
