Marjoram and oregano both belong to the mint family, which makes them quite similar. However, there’s no sibling harmony here. In the kitchen, it’s either one or the other. Marjoram has a significantly milder aroma than oregano and tastes less peppery with a slightly sweet note. Its delicate fragrance is perfect for seasoning fresh cheese or vegetable salads. It’s also an excellent addition to hearty winter dishes like potato soup or game. It pairs wonderfully with bay leaves and juniper. Marjoram is a great complement to cabbage or legumes.
TIP: Add marjoram toward the end of cooking to preserve its delicate aroma. It’s a must-have in every kitchen.
