ORGANIC OREGANO Buy Now On Sale At Florida Herb House And Spice Shop!! In Italian, oregano is described as condicio sine qua non and we agree: it's one of that handful of utterly great flavorings. In the U.S., oregano is best known as the characteristic taste of well-made pizza; we say "or was" because well-made pizza, like well-made anything, is becoming scarcer and scarcer, and blander and blander, so it is not hard to imagine folk who really don't know the taste of oregano even if they eat a lot of pizza (or what passes for pizza nowadays). In any event, though, oregano has a horde of culinary uses beyond pizza. Oregano is notoriously highly variable when grown from seed, so purchase of a plant from a reliable herb and spice specialist house is almost mandatory, with an emphasis on the "reliable" part (even the seedsmen get sent false varieties, and we must rely on them to spot those and send us only wnat we really have ordered). Oregano is not at all fussy about soil conditions, save the usual requirement that it be well-drained. It has reportedly a slight preference for lightly alkaline soils, but few worry much about that. As with most herbs, average to poor soils produce the most concentrated flavors. Oregano is an herb that is a member of the mint family. It is closely related to marjoram, even though the flavors differ widely. The common variety of oregano bears the scientific (latin) name of Organum vulgare. Although it is a common ingredient in foods around the world, more is used in perfumes than is consumed. At the Oregano! website we will teach you all about oregano. The history and origin of oregano is an interesting story. The roots of this herb, spice or mint (whatever you may call it) lie deep in the Mediterranean basin.
