Marjoleinblad, heel

I've been using this in my roasted chicken rub and it's noticeably milder than the oregano I usually reach for, which is exactly what I wanted. The whole leaves still smell fresh and aren't crushed to dust like some jars I've bought.

I've been reaching for this jar every time a recipe calls for oregano, but I want that softer, rounder note. The leaves are whole and intact, so you can really see the quality before you crumble them, and the aroma is gentle and sweet rather than sharp. It's become my quiet secret for soups and roas

The whole leaves are surprisingly fresh and aromatic, not the dusty bits you sometimes get. I've been using it in my roast chicken and it gives that mild, smooth oregano-like lift without overpowering everything else.
