Marjoram Leaves / Flakes - 2 oz. - Non GMO, Kosher, Halal, and Gluten - Dubble O Brand

The small openings on the shaker lid are pretty much useless, as no leaves seem to fit through them. But I just open the larger side and that works fine; I'm not docking stars for the silly packaging since the product itself is just what I expected.  

Marjoram doesn't get enough attention these days, particularly outside Mediterranean dishes. It's related to oregano, sharing a similar flavor but is sweeter and lacks that immediate Italian food association linked with oregano. I love adding it to various vegetable and fish preparations. This marjoram has a fresh scent (considering it's a dried herb), without any stale odor hinting it might have been sitting around too long. The price fits well, too.  

I was surprised to find how large a jar 2 oz. of marjoram really is! This brand seems fresh and is quite economical compared to most other brands per weight. The expiration date is November 2025. Honestly, this is way more marjoram than I anticipated, so I'll be sharing some with friends!

This is a nice large bottle of marjoram! It should last a significant amount of time. It has a fresh smell and a delightful taste. I love to cook from home, and this spice is excellent to enhance recipes, especially Italian dishes. It's also great in soups, stews, sauces, marinades, salad dressings, or sprinkled on grilled or roasted meats, as well as in homemade bread or pasta. I'm glad to have this on hand!  

I'm not sure if I've ever tasted marjoram before grabbing this. I knew it existed but hadn't personally utilized it in cooking. I ended up using it similarly to how I might use oregano in a few Italian recipes. It offers a pleasing scent and flavor. It's hard to describe the flavor other than it being herbal, slightly citrusy, woodsy, and minty? It's a bit sweeter than oregano, and I truly enjoy it.  

I just added the marjoram to my brussels sprouts, and it brought out some lovely flavors. Can't wait to use it in my pasta sauces and other meals soon. The aroma is delightful and very fresh for a dried herb. Clearly fresher and tastier than any store-bought herb/spice that's been sitting on a shelf for who knows how long. The container is 2 oz, but it's quite ample and will last a good while, making it a great buy.

If you've never experienced marjoram, it has a sweet, slightly minty, and mildly bitter flavor with hints of pine and citrus. It's somewhat similar to oregano, but sweeter. I personally enjoyed experimenting with this seasoning in a soup I made recently. I'd definitely suggest giving it a try!  

This bottle is loaded with marjoram! I found it slightly tricky to get the leaves out through the shaker top, but it's easy to just scoop them out. The leaves taste vibrant and contribute a lovely complexity to my meals. The aroma is quite lovely, too.  

There's a nice quantity of marjoram flakes in the container, but they tend to clump together fairly quickly, making it somewhat challenging to sprinkle through the lid. I use it as a garnish for finished dishes, and since it doesn't have a very overpowering taste, it works well.  

It's my first time cooking with marjoram, and I'm a little puzzled. This doesn't have the same flavor as oregano. The scent is very faint, but the taste has a soapy or perfume-like quality. I suppose that's its flavor…but I didn't really enjoy it. The label doesn't indicate where it's sourced from.
