Introduction
Proper storage helps dried oregano retain its natural aroma, flavour and colour. Exposure to air,
moisture, heat and direct sunlight can gradually reduce its quality. By following a few simple
practices, you can enjoy fresh-tasting oregano for longer.
Best Storage Practices
1. Use an Airtight Container
Store oregano in a tightly sealed glass jar or resealable food-grade pouch to minimise exposure to
air.
2. Keep It in a Cool, Dry Place
Choose a kitchen cupboard or pantry away from heat sources such as ovens and stovetops.
3. Protect It from Sunlight
Store oregano away from direct sunlight, which can reduce flavour and colour over time.
4. Avoid Moisture
Always use a clean, dry spoon and keep the container tightly closed after each use.
5. Buy the Right Quantity
Purchase only the amount you can use within a reasonable period for the best flavour.
6. Label and Rotate
Use older packs first and check the best-before date regularly.
