What goes with Oregano?
Dried oregano contributes a concentrated herbal character and fine leaf particles. Species, growing conditions and product quality affect its aroma, so its composition is not universal. Fresh leaves bring different moisture and texture and should not be substituted by an assumed equal volume.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Oregano?
Match the oregano to a clear route through tomato, oil, a dressing or cooking juices. Avoid coating every component independently. In a grain dish, hydrated leaf particles should be evenly dispersed rather than left as a dusty finish.
