Pahari Oregano is a culinary herb made from the fresh or dried leaves of the oregano plant, known for its pungent aroma and strong, savoury flavour. The plant features tiny leaves and produces delicate pink or purple flowers when in bloom, which are also edible. Naturally gluten-free, oregano is suitable for vegan and paleo diets and is widely used to enhance the taste of a variety of dishes.
Our dried and hand-crushed Pahari Oregano is organically grown in the natural, pollution-free hills of Ramgarh in Uttarakhand. Dried oregano is often preferred for its subtle yet robust flavour, as it does not overpower dishes like fresh oregano can. It has a distinctive camphor-like aroma and a taste that is earthy and green with notes of mint and hay, along with a slight bitterness. Unlike many herbs, dried oregano can be added early in cooking, making it ideal for sauces and stews. Crushing the leaves before use helps release maximum flavour. Sourced directly from local farmers and women’s self-help groups, this herb is prepared in small batches to preserve freshness and quality.
