Oregano Pure Essential Oil

100% Pure and Natural, Undiluted

Botanic Name: Origanum onites

Description: It has an aromathic, warm and slightly bitter taste. It varies in intensity; good quality oregano is so strong that it almost numbs the tongue, but the cultivars adapted to colder climates have often unsatisfactory flavor. The influence of climate, season and soil on the composition of the essential oil is greater than the difference between the various species.

It is the leaves that are used in cooking, and the dried herb is often more flavourful than the fresh.Oregano is often used in tomatoes sauses , fried vegetables, and grilled meat. Together with basil, it contributes much to the distinctive character of many Italian dishes. In Turkish Cuisine, oregano is mostly used for flavoring meat, especially for mutton and lambs meat. In barbecue and kebab restaurants, it can be usually found on table, together with paprika, salt and pepper.It is commonly used by local chefs in southern Philippines when boiling carabao or cow meat to eliminate the odor of the meat, and to add a nice, spicy flavor.
