Description

Oregano is one of the most potent essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional practices. Extracted from the fragrant leaves of the oregano plant, Origanum vulgare, Oregano essential oil has made its way into cookbooks and cabinets around the world. The primary chemical component of Oregano is carvacol, a phenol, which makes it one of the most versatile and powerful essential oils. Applied topically, Oregano should be diluted with a carrier oil.

Primary Benefits

  • A versatile flavouring component widely used across the world in savoury dishes, commonly used as a dry herb.
  • Incredibly pungent fragrance and flavour when used in cooking, allowing the user to make a little go a long way in each dish.
  • Spicy and herbaceous flavour ideal for soups, salads and seasoning any savoury dish.

Uses

  • Put one drop in place of dried oregano in spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce, or on a roast. 
  • Combine Oregano essential oil and Peppermint essential oil with carrier oil for a warming massage.
  • Create your own hand soap by mixing liquid castile soap, water, and a few drops of Oregano.

Cooking with Oregano

Essential oils are very potent compared to dry seasonings, spices, or other flavouring agents, so even the tiniest amount can add a serious blast of flavour to your dish. When using Oregano in cooking, it is best to use the toothpick method – dip the tip of a clean toothpick into the essential oil bottle and stir the toothpick into your ingredients. After you’ve stirred the toothpick around in the dish, do a taste test to see if additional oil should be added.
