Oregano Leaf Powder
Part of our Herbs range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Oregano Leaf Powder is made from the dried leaves of oregano, Origanum vulgare and related Mediterranean species. Its warm, slightly bitter, peppery aroma is the signature herb of pizza, pasta sauces and Mediterranean cooking, and it is also used in herbal teas, supplements and natural personal-care products.
Arizone International supplies Oregano Leaf Powder, rubbed oregano and cut leaves for seasoning companies, pizza and sauce makers, food manufacturers, herbal brands, wholesalers and exporters.
Mediterranean and Mexican Oregano
Mediterranean oregano comes from Origanum species that grow wild on the sunny hills of Greece, Turkey and Italy. Turkey is one of the world's largest exporters of dried oregano. Mexican oregano, in contrast, comes from Lippia graveolens, a different plant from the verbena family, with a stronger, more citrusy taste used in Mexican dishes. Buyers should specify which type they need. Oregano also grows wild in the Himalayas of India, where it is sometimes called ban tulsi.
Oregano became popular in the United States after soldiers returning from Italy after the Second World War developed a taste for the "pizza herb".

Quality and Adulteration
Oregano is one of the most frequently adulterated herbs in the world. Investigations in several countries have found dried oregano mixed with cheaper leaves such as olive or myrtle leaves. We check identity and purity, including volatile oil content and microscopic examination, to make sure our oregano is genuine.

- Species identity and origin

Packaging and Storage
Oregano Leaf Powder is packed in airtight, light-protective bags to preserve its aroma. Store in a cool, dry, dark place.
Safety Notes
Oregano is safe in normal culinary amounts. Concentrated supplements are not recommended during pregnancy, and people allergic to mint-family plants may react to oregano.
Oregano is also a popular ingredient in Greek, Turkish and Mexican-style seasoning blends and in flavoured olive oils.
Rubbed oregano keeps more visible leaf texture than fine powder, which suits pizza and salad toppings.
Tips for Buyers and Formulators
Oregano is a commonly adulterated herb, so ask for purity testing. For food use, ask for steam-sterilised powder.
Keep packs sealed to protect aroma, and tell us the mesh size you need for seasonings.
