Oregano is a robust herb that is both complex and strongly aromatic (a bit camphoraceous). There are so many plants that are called oregano that some have even suggested that oregano be considered a flavor rather than a specific species. Nonetheless, in most kitchens there are two types of oregano that are the most often used – the more popular is Origanum vulgare which is a member of the mint (Lamiaceae) family and is commonly known as Mediterranean oregano, true oregano, or Greek oregano. The other is Lippia graveolens , or Mexican oregano, a member of the Labiatae family.

Mediterranean Oregno is closely related to Marjoram and is similar in taste. In fact, oregano means marjoram in Spanish. It grows throughout Europe and Asia, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, and here in the US in California and New Mexico.

In Mediterranean and Italian cooking oregano is an key ingredient and when partnered with Basil makes the two an unbeatable combination in pasta sauces, roasted vegetables and most definitely with pizza. Mediterranean oregano is somewhat milder than Mexican oregano.

Use with cream sauces, vinegars, salad dressings, soups, and herb butters. Oregano is also outstanding in egg and cheese dishes (such as omelets, frittatas, and quiche). Combine olive oil with oregano and brush on foods for the grill, it is also commonly mixed with other herbs and spices for a salt-free seasoning.

Works well in combination with basil, garlic, thyme, and parsley.
