Thyme
Among the world s oldest culinary herbs, thyme is a relative of both mint and oregano, which explains its warm, woody pungency. Its tiny leaves are a major component of classic spice mixes, such as za'atar and bouquet garni. Our Mediterranean version is a coarser broken leaf thyme, with a heartier flavor than our French one.
Details
Thyme was popular in the ancient world and spread throughout Europe by the Romans, who used it liberally in both food and medicine. Dried thyme leaves have a pleasantly earthy, woody flavor that pairs well with roasted meats, stews, and hearty vegetables. It is a common ingredient in French cooking (for the herb blend Bouquet Garni), in Italian recipes, and is crucial to Middle Eastern za’atar blends. Ingredients: Thyme.
