French marjoram (Origanum majorana), also known as sweet marjoram, is a fragrant, tender perennial cherished for its delicate, slightly sweet flavour and soothing aroma. Unlike the stronger, spicier oreganos, French marjoram offers a refined, floral taste that enhances Mediterranean dishes with subtle warmth. Its gentle flavour makes it ideal for seasoning poultry, vegetables, soups, and sauces without overpowering other ingredients.
