Culinary & Growing Tips
Hot & Spicy Oregano excels in pizza sauce, pasta dishes, grilled lamb and chicken, marinades, and tomato-based recipes where its bold flavor shines. Use fresh leaves for the most intense taste, or dry them to concentrate the oils—the flavor becomes even more pungent when dried.

The vigorous growth habit provides plenty of flavorful foliage for frequent cooking.
