Oregano

A perennial herb in the mint family, closely related to marjoram, that grows throughout South Western Europe and the Mediterranean. The small, olive-green leaves are usually used dry, and have an aromatic, warm and slightly bitter flavour. They are used widely in Italian, Greek and Turkish cuisine, as well as having medicinal properties.
