Badia Organic Oregano Spice, 0.75 oz

Oregano is the dried herb that defines Italian and Mediterranean cooking — pungent, slightly peppery, with a resinous backbone that holds up under heat the way fresh herbs can't. Dried is the point: the drying concentrates the oils that give pizza, marinara, and Greek roasts their signature character.

Common Uses

Sprinkle over Neapolitan pizza before and after baking, fold into marinara and pomodoro, season meatballs and Sicilian-style braises. Essential on Greek souvlaki, lemon-oregano roasted chicken, and feta drizzled with olive oil. Crosses into Mexican kitchens for pozole, chili, and refried beans, and rubs beautifully onto pork shoulder before slow roasting.

Cuisine Context

This is the herb Italian nonnas keep within arm's reach and Greek tavernas measure by the handful. It's essential anywhere tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic come together — and the dividing line between a sauce that tastes Italian and one that just tastes red.

Pro Tip

Crush it between your palms before adding to a dish. The friction releases the oils trapped in the dried leaves, waking up flavor that would otherwise stay locked in the jar.
