Description
Greek Oregano is a robust and aromatic herb known for its strong, earthy flavor and its essential role in Mediterranean cuisine. This variety of oregano is particularly prized for its potent taste, which is more intense than common oregano, making it a staple in dishes like Greek salads, grilled meats, and sauces.
Greek Oregano is a perennial herb that thrives in warm, sunny climates. It has small, dark green leaves and produces clusters of tiny white or pink flowers in the summer. The leaves are the most commonly used part of the plant, either fresh or dried, and are known for their high essential oil content, which gives Greek Oregano its distinctive, pungent flavor. The plant is also used medicinally for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
