thoughts&stories

Mexican Oregano is stronger, more intensely earthy flavor than what we know as ‘oregano’ or what really is often called ‘Mediterranean oregano.’ Given Mexican oregano also has a more citrus flavor, it brings out the best in Mexican food. You should not substitute one for the other as they come from a completely different plant.
