So with my recent herb/spice purchase i decided to buy some "premium oregano" leaves to see what the difference is compared to the regular stuff. MASSIVE! MASSIVE! DIFFERENCE!!!
the regular stuff that looks old and brown has almost no flavour, while the premium stuff is SUPER STRONG! it is so peppery that it literally burns my tongue and reminds me of fresh basil. Now it makes sense! i've always felt like i've needed to add ALOT of herbs to bring their flavour through but when you do that it just gives you a grassy smell and taste.
With fresh stuff, i can see myself not having to add anywhere near as much while getting maximum flavour from it. Oregano is unmistakable now. It is a deadset 100%er. Everyone describes the O.R as being peppery, but what happens when you add too much pepper? it doesn't make it peppery in the way that the O.R is, it just makes it completely overpowered. You need something else that is peppery like oregano.
