profile: Sicilian Oregano
the genre Origanum, deriva dal greco “oros”, montagna, e “ganos”, splendore, ovvero gioia della montagna, probabilmente a causa del profumo che emana il luogo dove cresce la pianta. E’ una specie erbacea con fiori riuniti a mazzetti di un bel bianco caratterizzati da un profumo molto intenso. Cresce in zone incolte, nei boschi e nelle scarpate. Se ne utilizzano le sommità fiorite. E’ utilizzato da tempi remoti, un aroma tipico della cucina mediterranea. Immancabile per flavor the pizza. Transversal to many fish and meat dishes. Excellent on focaccias, sauces and soups.
