Common hyssop is native to southern Europe and western Asia and has long been grown as a culinary, medicinal and ornamental herb.

During the Middle Ages, hyssop was also used as a kitchen and stewing herb, valued for its strong fragrance and flavour. Although “hyssop” is famously mentioned in biblical texts, many scholars believe the biblical plant may have been a different Middle Eastern herb, often identified as Syrian oregano or “Bible hyssop” rather than modern \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHyssopus officinalis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e.
