Fresh Marjoram, Large Bunch

Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch is a large bunch of fresh marjoram – the delicate, sweet relative of oregano with a more refined, floral and less assertive character. Marjoram is gentler than oregano but carries a similar herbal depth. As a result, it suits more delicate preparations where oregano would overpower. Furthermore, marjoram is a staple of German and Eastern European cooking and appears in sausages, bean dishes and braised meats throughout the region. In particular, fresh marjoram is far more complex than the dried version most commonly encountered.

About Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch

We source our fresh herbs from specialist herb growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its condition, fragrance and flavour. As a result, the herbs we deliver meet a standard well above what supermarket plastic packets provide. Furthermore, large bunches give you a genuinely useful quantity. They let you use herbs generously rather than sparingly. However, the freshness of a herb makes all the difference to both flavour and aroma. In particular, herbs that have sat in cold storage for several days lose the volatile oils that carry their character. Additionally, we deliver direct from our growers so you cook with herbs at their most fragrant. A short supply chain from field to kitchen makes all the difference. That is why Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch From Us

Using fresh herbs generously transforms cooking. In contrast to dried herbs, fresh varieties carry volatile aromatic oils. These deliver fragrance, flavour and visual appeal simultaneously. As a result, good fresh herbs are among the highest-return ingredients in any kitchen. Furthermore, most herbs fall into two categories. Hardy herbs suit cooking. Delicate herbs are best added at the very end. However, even hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage benefit from a final scattering of fresh leaves to brighten the dish. In particular, storing herbs correctly extends their life considerably. Moreover, treat soft herbs like flowers. Stand them in a little water in the fridge to keep them fresh for several extra days. Additionally, hardy herbs keep well wrapped in damp kitchen paper. That is why we always include guidance with every delivery.

How to Cook Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch

To get the very best from Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch:

• Add towards the end of cooking to preserve the more delicate flavour – marjoram loses intensity with long cooking.
• Use in sausage seasoning, bean dishes and braised pork where its gentle herbal depth is most appreciated.
• Furthermore, fresh marjoram makes an outstanding pizza and focaccia topping alongside good olive oil.
• Additionally, combine with garlic and olive oil as a simple finishing herb for grilled lamb or chicken.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch pairs beautifully with:

• Lamb, pork and game birds where the gentle herbal note complements without overpowering
• Bean dishes, lentils and legume soups as a warming background herb
• Pizza, focaccia or flatbreads with good olive oil

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Store soft herbs like basil, coriander and parsley standing in a little water in the fridge. Cover loosely with a bag. Store hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage wrapped in damp kitchen paper. Keep in a sealed bag in the fridge. Furthermore, most fresh herbs keep for 5 to 7 days when stored well. However, basil is the exception – store at room temperature as cold turns the leaves black. Delivered fresh and ready to use.

However you use it, Fresh Marjoram Large Bunch brings a freshness and quality to any dish that dried or older alternatives simply cannot provide. Moreover, cooking with genuinely fresh herbs and garnishes is one of the most immediate ways to raise the standard of any kitchen.
