Mediterranean Thyme

Originating in the southern Mediterranean region, Mediterranean Thyme is a long-living herbaceous plant. It's a member of the mint family and is known for its earthy, slightly minty, and subtle lemony flavor. Drying the leaves helps to concentrate the flavors, and it also allows for a longer shelf life compared to fresh thyme.

How to Use Dried Mediterranean Thyme

Dried Thyme is a pantry essential that brings earthy depth and gentle warmth to everyday cooking. Its subtle minty, woodsy notes complement a wide variety of savory dishes, making it an indispensable herb for both classic and contemporary recipes.

Culinary Uses:

  • Soups & Stews: Add during simmering to build layered flavor—perfect in chicken soup, lentil stew, or beef bourguignon.
  • Roasted Meats & Vegetables: Sprinkle over lamb, chicken, or root vegetables before roasting for a rustic, herbaceous finish.
  • Sauces & Gravies: Stir into tomato sauces, pan sauces, or gravy to round out richness with herbal complexity.
  • Marinades & Rubs: Combine with garlic, lemon, and olive oil for a fragrant marinade or dry rub for poultry, fish, or pork.
  • Mediterranean & French Dishes: Essential in herbes de Provence and Mediterranean-inspired meals like ratatouille, roasted eggplant, or grilled halloumi.

Tips for Use:

Dried thyme is more concentrated than fresh—use about one-third the amount you would with fresh sprigs. It’s best added early in cooking to allow its flavor to fully infuse the dish.
