Organic Oregano NZ

A Bold Mediterranean Herb with Powerful Health Benefits

What Is Oregano?

Oregano is a classic herb used across Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Known for its bold, earthy flavour and slightly peppery bite, oregano brings depth and aroma to everyday meals. At SpiceBloom, we offer 100% organic dried oregano, harvested and dried to lock in freshness, flavour, and aroma.

Culinary Uses of Oregano

Whether sprinkled on top of pizza or stirred into pasta sauce, oregano adds a distinctive kick that balances sweetness, acidity, and savoury flavours. It’s especially great for:

  • Pizza & Pasta Sauces 🍕🍝

  • Tomato-based stews and soups

  • Grilled meats and marinades

  • Salad dressings and vinaigrettes

  • Roasted vegetables

  • Baked bread (try oregano focaccia!)

  • Homemade spice blends like za’atar or Italian seasoning

💡 Pro tip: Oregano pairs well with garlic, lemon, thyme, and chilli.

Is Oregano Good for You?

Yes! Oregano isn’t just flavourful — it’s a nutrient powerhouse.
