Why is oregano often used in Mediterranean and Italian cooking?

Oregano grows naturally in warm Mediterranean climates, which gives the herb its concentrated essential oils and distinct aroma. These oils pair well with ingredients common in the region such as tomatoes, olives, lamb, grilled vegetables and olive oil. Its natural intensity means it can hold its flavour even during long cooking, which is why it appears in many traditional Mediterranean recipes.

Does dried oregano taste stronger than fresh oregano?

Dried oregano often tastes stronger because the drying process concentrates the herb’s natural oils. This means the flavour becomes more pronounced and slightly more complex, with deeper earthy notes. It is one of the few herbs where the dried version offers a noticeably bolder flavour than the fresh leaves, especially once exposed to heat in cooking.

Can oregano be used outside of Mediterranean dishes?

Yes, oregano works well in a wide range of dishes beyond classic Mediterranean recipes. It can bring depth to Mexican dishes such as chilli, bean stews and taco seasoning, and it complements roasted potatoes, garlic butter, breadcrumb coatings and simple salad dressings. Its warm flavour profile makes it suitable for any recipe that benefits from an aromatic herb with a slightly peppery edge.
