A close relative of lemon verbena, Mexican oregano has a unique citrus note that you won’t find in other varietals from elsewhere.
It has a sweet aroma, with a mild licorice and more floral tone than sometimes-bitter Mediterranean oregano.
This fragrant, dried Mexican oregano is grown and hand-selected by independent farmers in Mexico. It has the herbal brightness of the Mediterranean oregano you might be familiar with, but with a softer more delicate taste; it won’t overpower your dish. A whisper of licorice comes through along with a slightly floral aroma and a pronounced waft of citrus freshness. The seasoning is a staple in the Mexican pantry and we love how this one’s medium-fine texture holds its integrity while blending seamlessly into any dish.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
Use anywhere you’d like a softer, more nuanced oregano flavor. A sprinkle enhances a classic black bean soup, a pot of rice, chicken dishes and more. We love using it in our Chicken Tinga and Quick Refried Beans to add freshness and depth to the rich, savory flavors. And if you’re looking to improvise in your own kitchen, cumin and chili spices pair well with it, adding smokiness and spice.
