Dried thyme
Thyme is a fragrant, culinary herb that is used frequently in Mediterranean cuisines. It is a key component in many soups, stews, stocks and sauces. In its dried form, Thyme retains much of its flavor.
We grow and select different varieties of Thyme (for example the English one with large leaves and the French one with small leaves) with different aromas. It is planted in March-April and we harvest it before flowering. We mainly use the leaves and branches of this plant. Thyme is a genus of evergreen woody plant widespread in the arid places of Mediterranean regions such as Sicily. It has 4-10 cm long gray leaves, rounded at the edges, and 3-4 mm long flowers. pink or lilac. Thyme was already used in the times of the ancient Greeks and perhaps even earlier.
Its flavor is spicy aromatic and in Mediterranean cuisine, it occupies a very important place: it is used to flavor pasta dishes, fillings, roasted and grilled meats, fish, liqueurs and vinegars.
