Marjorana hortensis
Origin-Egypt
Greek lore traces marjoram’s origin to the gods of Mount Olympus, where its heavenly scent and flavor were said to be favorites of Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty.
Even marjoram’s historical genus, Origanum, means “joy of the mountain,” a name more likely earned by the sight and smell of this fragrant herb growing on the beautiful Greek hillsides. Marjoram’s subtle, savory taste is milder and less peppery than its close cousin, oregano, and is ideal for adding zest to dishes with delicate flavors. It’s also an essential component in classic spice blends such as bouquet garni and herbes de Provence.
