Badia Oregano Whole 0.5 oz Pack of 2

Whole-leaf oregano from Badia — the dried herb that goes into nearly every Cuban marinade, stew, and bean pot. Crumbled between the fingers to release the oils right before it hits the pot.

Common Uses: ropa vieja, picadillo, fricasé de pollo, arroz con pollo, frijoles negros, pollo asado marinades, carne guisada.

Pantry Role: base seasoning, adobo base.

Common In: Cuban, Spanish, and Mexican kitchens; the daily seasoning rotation in Cuban-American households nationwide.

Pairs With: comino, garlic, naranja agria, bay leaf, sofrito, olive oil, black pepper.

Whole-leaf format holds its flavor longer than ground oregano, which is why most Cuban cooks keep it this way. Two 0.5 oz jars ship nationwide.
