Oregano

The Ancient Greeks called the herb “brilliant joy of the mountain,” and believed cows who grazed on oregano had better tasting meat.

Oregano is the perfect addition to tomato based dishes such as marinara or pizza sauce. This herb also pairs well with olive oil and can be included in spice, rubs, and marinades. Every home kitchen could use oregano, and bulk dried oregano is essential for restaurants.
