Classic Provisions Spices, Dried Leaves, Rich in Flavor for Snacks Chicken Salsa Guacamole and More, Oregano, Mexican Whole, 3 Ounce

It’s flavorful, aromatic, and authentic a best as I can tell. Tastes, smells, and looks just like what Alphonso at our local Mexican kitchen uses, but a disclaimer: I’m not Mexican. I’ve used it to make chili con carne and salsa so far, and the results were fantastic. Clearly differs from Italian oregano but I can see how it got the name. Just as aromatic as Italian but with floral and citrus. Contents of the package are clean, somewhat coarsely chopped dry herbs, with no dust (or very little at the bottom as you would expect with something that’s been shipped around). Texture of the herbs is delicate, and doesn’t leave you feeling like you’re eating a bunch of stems, which is a sign of quality. The quantity you get for this price is wonderful too.

I use this in most all of my Mexican food. Adds great flavor to my dishes.

Fresh and fragrant good price

My first try at Mex oregano. Strong flavor, use less than reg oregano. The flavor profile it markedly different with notes of complex pine or other flavors yet retains traditional oregano qualities. I like it and this is a great bargain. I shared with friends.

This stuff is amazing. Just such a wonderful aroma and flavor compared to other oregano. Always keep it on hand now.

I've been using this product for about ten years. IMO, it's as good, if not better, than any other product on the market. First and most important, the flavor is authentic. Very different and stronger than Mediterranean oregano...and it's supposed to be. Another reviewer didn't care for the fact that there are many tiny oregano buds. How lame because those buds are flavor. Any chef will tell you to take what you are going to use, put it your palm and break it up with your hands. This releases the natural oils and also breaks up the tiny buds. Bingo, now you have genuine flavor. I like it and it will last a long time.

Two things we noticed: Unlike the supermarket Italian oregano, which seems to be more dust than leaves, the Classic Provisions brand had whole, big leaves, and looked like it was picked and dried in the last few months. (Don't hold me to that; it's just my opinion and observation.) The other: Mexican oregano is definitely not the usual oregano. We could taste the difference in chili Verde, posole, and the many other mexican dishes we cook. (If you want some authentic Mexican recipes, Google "isabel eats" or "Mexican Please"

Good flavor and was very fresh. Some spices have an old cardboard taste, but this seems to be very fresh. I use this when making my homemade sausage and will buy again. Good amount for the price - I’m happy with it
