Marjoram has a delicate floral aroma with notes of citrus and sometimes pine. It is related to oregano and has a similar flavor but is more subtle. Because of its pleasing flavor and aroma it was a symbol of happiness to the Greeks and Romans. It pairs well with meat (especially lamb), cheese, vegetable dishes and any tomato-based soup or sauce. It is possible to over cook marjoram in soups so we recommend adding it toward the end of the cooking time.
Spices and herbs should be stored away from light, heat and moisture. However, storing spices in the refrigerator or freezer may actually shorten their shelf life and they risk picking up other food odors. In general, whole spices have a longer shelf life than ground spices. Depending on the spice and how well it is stored, a good rule of thumb is six months to a year for powdered spices and longer for whole spices and seeds. The best way to determine if your spices or herbs are still fresh is to close your eyes and sniff – if you cannot immediately tell what the herb or spice is, toss it!
