Badia Oregano Ground Spice, 1.5 oz

Ground oregano — Mediterranean oregano milled to a fine, even powder that disperses through marinades and rubs without the leafy bite of the whole-leaf form. A 1.5 oz jar is the working size for households that cook Cuban, Mexican, or Italian regularly.

Common Uses

The backbone of Cuban mojo for pork shoulder and the dry rub for lechón asado. Stir into Mexican adobo for carne asada and pollo asado, season refried beans, finish elote. In Italian kitchens, it goes into pizza sauce, meatballs, and salsa verde; in Greek, into souvlaki marinade with lemon and garlic. Sprinkle over roasted potatoes, tomato salads, and grilled fish.

Cuisine Context

Oregano is one of the few herbs that defines multiple cuisines at once — non-negotiable in Cuban sofrito, Mexican salsa roja, Italian red sauce, and Greek roasts. Ground form is what marinades and rubs want, since it bonds to the meat instead of sitting on top.

Pro Tip

Bloom ground oregano in warm oil for 30 seconds before adding tomatoes or stock. It wakes up the menthol-pine notes the way toasting does for cumin.
