Oregano Leaves
Oregano Leaves bring the robust, earthy flavour of fresh oregano into your kitchen, offering a convenient way to add depth and warmth to a variety of dishes. Known for its pungent and slightly bitter taste with hints of mint and lemon, Oregano Leaves are a staple in Mediterranean, Italian, and Latin American cooking. Whether you're making pizza, pasta, or grilled meats, dried oregano adds a distinctive and aromatic touch to your meals.
