Authentic Mediterranean taste!
Thyme is a very popular herb in Greece. Its taste and aroma perfectly embody the essence of Greek and Cretan cuisine!
More than just a fantastic taste!
In addition to its delicious taste, thyme was historically considered a symbol of courage and was known for its aphrodisiac properties. In the 16th century, women served thyme soup and beer to their loved ones as a romantic tonic. At the same time, crushed thyme leaves were placed in pillows to alleviate melancholy and calm patients.
Today, thyme is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, mainly due to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It is also rich in vitamin K, manganese, calcium, and iron.
Give your dishes a Greek touch!
Thyme is a wonderful herb that, in addition to its health benefits, has enhanced Greek cuisine since ancient times. It can replace oregano in various dishes, but the combination of both creates an unforgettable taste!
We recommend using thyme in salads, especially in combination with olive oil. Add a few finely chopped leaves to your next pasta sauce – you'll be delighted! It also goes wonderfully with fish, meat, and poultry, and is perfect for seasoning marinades.
Add the thyme only a few minutes before serving or immediately after turning off the heat. When baking bread, you can mix dried thyme leaves into the dough.
Tip: If you want to replace fresh thyme with dried, use only one-third the amount of fresh thyme, as dried thyme tastes much more intense!
