Greek oregano

In Ancient Greece we find it to be a symbol of joy and happiness as wedding wreaths used to contain oregano branches. The word from the ancient Greek comes from the words mount and ganos which refers to the plant that brightens the mountain.

Cooking

Oregano is a key ingredient in Greek (but also Italian) cooking, part of which is built around its characteristic aroma and the taste it leaves in the food. After all, who could imagine country salad without it?
Oregano can accompany poultry, lamb, bread, potatoes, feta cheese, salads, tomato-based sauces, pies, savory tarts, but also when marinating meat or fish. So that it doesn't lose its aroma while cooking, it's good to use it towards the end of cooking while we rub it a little with our hand to release its aroma.

Traditional Properties

Oregano has a strong antioxidant effect, which increases especially when combined with olive oil. Traditionally used as a decoction against period pains, it is a uterine stimulant and should therefore be avoided by pregnant women. It strengthens the immune system since it has strong antiviral and antibacterial properties. It can be used against chronic or acute bronchitis, cough and has expectorant properties. Finally, it facilitates digestion, opens the appetite and fights constipation.
