Also known as wild marjoram and Origanum vulgare (meaning “joy of the mountain” in Greek), oregano is a fragrant culinary and medicinal herb that has been used for thousands of years. Belonging to the mint family, or Lamiaceae, oregano is known for its earthy flavor that makes it a great addition to a wide variety of dishes, from light salads to hefty Italian sauces.
Thanks to its subtly sweet, herbaceous flavor, oregano has become one of the most popular cooking herbs in the world, featured prominently in Italian, Turkish, Portuguese, Mexican, and Greek cuisine.
