Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is cultivated predominately in the Mediterranean region, including Greece, Turkey, France, Israel and Morocco, and also in India, Mexico and South America. Oregano leaves are larger than marjoram leaves, and the taste is slightly floral, and bitter, with added lemony and pungent notes, and an aroma similar to marjoram. The leaves can vary in colour depending on its country of origin.
