The Greek goddess Aphrodite is said to have created oregano as a symbol of joy, cultivating it in her garden on Mount Olympus. Oregano is cherished for its pungent, herbaceous, and slightly resinous flavour and aroma. It's a versatile herb, perfect for marinating grilled chicken, fish, lamb, haloumi cheese, or souvlaki with lemon juice and olive oil. It enhances vinaigrettes for traditional Greek salads and is an essential ingredient in Italian tomato sauce.
