THYME (Italy)

Fresh thyme is a fragrant, versatile herb widely used in cooking to add depth and warmth to a variety of dishes. Its earthy, slightly minty flavour pairs beautifully with roasted meats, vegetables, soups, and stews, and it’s a key ingredient in many classic herb blends. Fresh thyme can be used whole on the stem to infuse flavour during cooking or stripped from the stalk and finely chopped for marinades, dressings, and sauces. It also works well in infused oils, butters, and even herbal teas, making it a staple in both everyday and more refined cooking.
