Sun-Dried Mexican Culinary Herb

Mexican Oregano

Bold, citrusy-sweet and slightly peppery oregano for tacos, salsa, beans, chilli, soups and slow-cooked dishes.

SpiceBloom Mexican Oregano brings a brighter and more assertive flavour than the Mediterranean oregano commonly used in Italian cooking. Its citrusy, mildly sweet and peppery character works particularly well with chilli, tomato, beans, grilled meats and smoky seasonings.

The herb is sourced from Mexico and sun-dried before being packed in small batches in New Zealand. Crush it lightly between your fingers before use to break up the dried leaves and release more of their aroma into the dish.

Cooking tip: Mexican oregano pairs especially well with chipotle, ancho chilli, cumin, garlic and tomato. Begin with a small pinch and increase after tasting.

Mexican Oregano vs Mediterranean Oregano

Mexican oregano and Mediterranean oregano are used in different culinary traditions and have noticeably different flavour profiles. Mexican oregano is generally brighter, more citrusy and slightly peppery, while Mediterranean oregano is typically more herbaceous and closely associated with Italian and Greek dishes.

Mexican oregano is especially suited to recipes built around chilli, beans, tomato, corn, cumin and smoky flavours. Mediterranean oregano remains the more familiar choice for pizza, pasta sauces, Greek salads and olive-oil-based marinades.

They can be substituted when necessary, but the finished flavour will change. Use a smaller amount at first when replacing standard oregano with Mexican oregano.

How to Use Mexican Oregano

  • Crush before adding: Rub the leaves lightly between your fingers to break them up.
  • Tacos: Add to minced meat, shredded chicken, beans or roasted vegetable fillings.
  • Salsa and sauces: Stir into cooked tomato salsa, enchilada sauce or chilli-based marinades.
  • Beans and soups: Add during simmering so the flavour can spread through the cooking liquid.
  • Grilled food: Combine with chipotle, cumin, garlic, citrus and oil.
  • Substituting: Start with less than the recipe’s standard oregano quantity and adjust after tasting.
