A robust, pungent herb that is essential to Italian and Greek cooking. Oregano has a warm, slightly bitter flavor that intensifies when dried, making dried oregano often preferred over fresh.
Dried oregano is stronger and more concentrated — use about one-third the amount of fresh. Rub between palms before adding to release oils. Essential in pizza sauce, Greek salads, and marinades. Pairs with tomato, olive oil, and lemon.
