{"product_id":"oregano-rigani-kopie","title":"Oregano (rigani)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis powerful oregano was picked on the island of Crete, the island where the mountain slopes are colored by a carpet of flowering herbs in the summer. The flavor is so concentrated that it is advisable to use the oregano sparingly. Give your pizza, egg dish, or salad a boost with this unique herb.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote: the oregano leaves can be (considerably) finer than those shown in the image! Grading: 2-5 mm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOregano is the popular name for marjoram, a plant belonging to the mint family. Its use on pizza and in salads in Italian and Greek cuisine is famous, especially in combination with tomato and eggplant. However, oregano is not used solely in European cuisine, but also in Latin American cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike true marjoram (Origanum majorana), oregano is woody. The leaves are larger, have a stalk, are slightly hairy, and are green on both sides. Oregano is usually harvested 'on the stem'. That is why the stem and leaf are processed together in many oregano products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis is not the case with our oregano; the leaves are stripped from the stems after harvesting. Moreover, our oregano is harvested early in the summer, shortly before flowering, when the leaves are at their most flavorful. This wild-growing oregano, known as rígani in Crete, naturally possesses a more powerful and broader flavor profile than dried, cultivated oreganos, both naturally and through the careful method of harvesting and processing, but is also more potent than fresh oregano.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTherefore, use it to give a dish (hot or cold) a boost. Be more sparing with this wild oregano than you might be accustomed to. Prevent the strong flavor of this wild oregano from overpowering other flavor components. Incidentally, the more delicate the dish, the more it is worth considering using marjoram instead of oregano. \u003cstrong\u003erule of thumb\u003c\/strong\u003e in addition is: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  \u003cem\u003erustic Mediterranean and Southern French dishes oregano,\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003erefined Northern French dishes: marjoram.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eScent and taste\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe taste and smell of oregano are determined by carvacrol (spicy and bitter), thymol (thyme), myrcene (pepperig) and sabinene. The latter provides the sweet notes. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAs strange as it may sound, oregano lends itself not only to savory dishes but also to sweet dishes, even in ice cream or yogurt. A favorite application, however, is oregano in combination with garlic and lemon, for example as a flavoring for (fatty) lamb, and on or in egg dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAdd dried oregano only at the last moment. The best time to add dried herbs is at most ten minutes before the end of cooking. That is sufficient for the leaves to reabsorb moisture and transfer the flavor to the dish.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDid you know that the flavor of these dried herbs comes out best when you let the herbs absorb moisture in oil for a while, so that they can transfer their flavor to the oil?
