To make oregano oil you simply need to have these two products at home. You can use both fresh and dried oregano. If you use the fresh one you will need a sprig, otherwise, half a tablespoon of the seco is enough. Then you need a glass of extra virgin olive oil (100 ml).
If the leaves are fresh, you’ll need to use a mortar and pestle to crush them. Once you’ve got a clear, juicy paste, transfer it to a glass jar with a lid. Add the oil and close. Store in a cool, dark place for about 15 days. After this time, take the oil again.
