Frontier Co-op® Fancy-Grade Oregano (botanical name Origanum onites) is a flowering plant in the mint family. Oregano has been used in cooking for thousands of years. This oregano is a robust, premium seasoning that is commonly found in Mexican, Italian, and Mediterranean cooking.
Oregano has a wide range of applications and is great in cheese, pasta, vegetable, and tomato dishes. It's also a great addition to sauces, dressings, and casseroles. The herb combines well with other spices, including garlic for general seasoning purposes. It also has a special similarity to basil.
This cut and sifted herb carries stronger flavor properties than fresh oregano. Our oregano is a robust spice, strongly and complexly aromatic. It is earthy with pungent overtones. Oregano delivers a warm, sweet, and bitter taste with a bit of a bite, and it is highly compatible with various recipes and sauces.
Frontier Co-op Fancy-Grade Oregano is hand-picked and sun-dried, then cut and sifted to provide a flavorful blend for many drinks and foods. Our oregano is kosher certified and non-irradiated.

Directions
Suggested Uses: Strongly and complexly aromatic, earthy, pungent, slightly bitter and astringent, oregano is a robust spice. It's indispensable in Italian and other Mediterranean cooking. Its special affinity for basil makes the two a great combination in vegetable, cheese, pasta and tomato dishes, and especially pizza. Mediterranean oregano is milder than Mexican, has a sweeter flavor and is considered better for Italian cooking. Mexican oregano is more often used in chili powders, chili con carne, and other hot/spicy dishes.
