Mexican oregano leaves are not to be confused with the Mediterranean herb oregano! With an intense peppery flavour and notes of liquorice and lemon, these leaves taste vastly different. The leaves compliment spicy and bold flavours in Mexican and South American Cuisine. You’ll find it in Tex-Mex, too, where it’s used to flavour the sauces, marinades, and rubs for grilled meats and vegetables.
Sometimes, Mexican oregano leaves may also be referred to as Mexican marjoram or Mexican wild sage. While it can be used as a substitute to Mediterranean oregano, a much stronger flavour means that it should be used in much smaller quantities.
Use Mexican oregano for Chilli con Carne, moles, bean related dishes and braised meats. Add instead of the Mediterranean oregano in tomato pasta dishes or try our recipe for Spicy Pork and Beef Meatballs.

Andy Page –
Fragrant, Peppery and pungent, Mexican oregano is quite different from it’s Mediterranean cousin and enhances any Mexican/Latin American dish with a citrus aroma. Use liberally in Chilis etc.
I’ve always got a packet of this to hand when cooking.
