Introduction / Overview

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a Mediterranean herb from the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is a staple in many global cuisines. Known as the “pizza herb”, it has a robust, earthy, and slightly peppery flavor with a hint of bitterness. Oregano is closely related to marjoram, though it has a stronger and more pungent taste.
