Mexican Oregano
Free shipping on orders $50+
A Mexican pantry staple loaded with bright, almost citrus-like, earthy flavor.
A delicious and essential part of the Mexican pantry. Similar to European Oregano, but less sweet and with a slight citrus twist. There are many plants known as "oregano" in Mexico but this is the most common (Lippia graveolens).
A tip from a good cook in the Yucatan tells us that Mexican Oregano really shines when it's been toasted for a moment or two on a hot, dry skillet.
Use in sauces, in salsas, sauces on simple grilled meat or anywhere authentic, savory flavor is needed.
Dried Mexican oregano is one of the traditional tableside additions to posole. It's fun to take a large pinch and hold it high over the bowl and rub it, cascading down and scenting the dining room.

My favorite oregano
Like another reviewer, this is my favorite dried oregano. Other dried oreganos, including the Indio oregano, taste slightly moldy to me - this is across the board - not from a single purchase or place. But THIS Mexican oregano I LOVE!

Hooked on RG Mexican Oregano
This is by far the finest oregano available. We can’t use any other oregano now. I’m always backstocked at least two jars, as I live in fear that you might be out when I order. I know the jars are expensive packaging, but it keeps the oregano fresh. Thank you.

Excellent!
Not normally a fan of dried herbs when one can get fresh, however, a jar came in the bean club order and with fresh herbs near impossible to get in the middle of a pandemic, I gave this a try.
And totally regretted not getting them before!
Will cheerfully buy again and again... so worth it.

Larger quantities please!
This is a wonderful oregano, but I would like to buy it in a larger quantity, perhaps in a packet instead of the small jar.

Amazing flavor, good on many things
I love this spice. I've been putting it on everything. Like no oregano flavor I've ever had. Totally distinctive, yet also mild and easy.
