McCormick Ground Oregano is strongly aromatic with a slightly bitter, pungent flavor. This pungent flavor of oregano is composed of earthy/musty, green, hay, and minty notes. The herb oregano imparts a slightly astringent mouth feel. Its flavor and aroma are similar to marjoram and thyme but is stronger than either. Oregano leaves are the dried leaves of the herbs Origanum spp (Mediterranean) and Lippia spp (Mexican). The Mediterranean variety of oregano is closely related to marjoram and is very similar in physical appearance to marjoram.
Oregano is not a subtle flavor. Oregano is often used in simple, earthy Mediterranean cooking and is essential for Italian pizza. Mediterranean Oregano is found in much of the Italian cuisine: pizza, spaghetti sauces, and other tomato-based sauces. Oregano goes well with tomatoes and is a natural with any tomato dish. Ground oregano is excellent for uses in sauces, gravies, soups, or sprinkling over foods - anywhere where the desire is for the herb to blend in to the recipe.
