Fresh Spices Oregano is carefully picked and gently dried by expert growers to preserve all of the flavour, colour and aroma contained in its essential oils. That way, you’re guaranteed to get perfectly authentic flavour every time. While it may be known for its appearance in Mediterranean specialties, oregano can be used to add a little zing to cuisines from across the world – its subtle lemony notes bring out the flavours of everything from traditionally British herby roast potatoes to fiery Mexican fajitas. Dried oregano is especially good in sauces, as simmering it in liquid slowly draws out the flavour.
