Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare subsp. hirtum) is a robust perennial herb renowned for its intense, aromatic flavour and medicinal tradition. Famous as the true oregano of Mediterranean cuisine, it is indispensable for pizzas, pastas, grilled meats, and tomato-based dishes. Its strong, peppery taste and fragrance distinguish it from common oregano, making it the preferred choice for authentic Greek and Italian cooking.
