❓ FAQs

What does dried oregano taste like?
Bold, peppery, and slightly bitter with thyme-like, camphor notes that stand up to heat and acid.

How does handpicking help?
Selective handpicking harvests younger, aromatic leaves and avoids woody stems, so flavor is cleaner and more consistent.

What’s the difference between oregano and marjoram?
Oregano is more robust and peppery; marjoram is sweeter and softer. Many cooks blend them for balance.

Can I substitute dried for fresh?
Yes. Use 1 tsp dried for about 1 Tbsp fresh, then adjust to taste.

Will cooking dull the flavor?
A little. Bloom oregano in warm oil, then season again near the end of cooking to keep the aroma vivid.

Is it caffeine-free?
Yes. Oregano contains no caffeine.
