Premium Oregano – Sterilized Leaves (Origanum vulgare)

Premium Oregano – Sterilized Leaves

Oregano is an essential herb in Mediterranean cuisine. Perfect for adding a special touch to pasta, pizzas, sauces, salads, meats, and fish, our 100% natural oregano enhances the flavor of food with a warm, slightly spicy, and fresh profile.

To ensure maximum quality and food safety, our oregano undergoes a steam sterilization process. At approximately 105ºC, the leaves are exposed to steam in a hermetically sealed tube for about 4 minutes. Afterward, they are rapidly cooled to 20ºC, preventing microbiological regrowth and eliminating condensation effects.

Ingredients: 100% Premium sterilized oregano leaves (Origanum vulgare L.).

Fun Facts:

Oregano is an aromatic herb from the Lamiaceae family, adaptable to humid soils and warm climates. Its name comes from Greek, meaning "joy of the mountain," possibly due to its influence on cattle pasture, improving the flavor of the animals' meat.

Originating from the Middle East and Mediterranean, it spread around the world from the 16th century and reached the Americas after World War II. It grows spontaneously in Portugal, Italy, France, and Germany, and is essential in gastronomy. Sun exposure helps concentrate its essential oils.

Benefits of Oregano in Cooking:

✔ Authentic and Intense Flavor: Adds depth and freshness to dishes.

✔ Healthy Alternative to Salt: Enhances the natural flavors of food without the need for excess salt.

✔ Rich in Antioxidants: Helps protect the body against free radicals.

✔ Versatility: Can be used fresh or dried, alone or combined with other herbs.
