Dried Thyme, Organic – 15g

Elevate your pantry with Timo degli Iblei, a wild and aromatic herb that received the Judges Award for the best dried aroma at the 2020 International Taste Awards. Known locally as “Satra,” this specific variety (Thymus capitatus) grows spontaneously on the rocky, sun-drenched slopes of the Iblei Mountains in southeastern Sicily. Its intense, fresh-balsamic fragrance is a signature of the Sicilian highlands.

Why You’ll Love It

• Wild-Harvested Purity: This thyme grows wild in uncontaminated soils and is hand-picked at the peak of its flowering (from spring to July), when its essential oils are most concentrated.
• Artisanal Social Mission: As part of the “Frutti degli Iblei” project, the herbs are processed in a small laboratory in Canicattini Bagni by a social cooperative that provides vocational training for ex-prisoners and young migrants.
• Concentrated Aroma: Naturally air-dried and hand-shelled to preserve its deep green colour and potent, persistent scent that is far superior to mass-produced varieties.
• Health Benefits: Naturally rich in Thymol, it is valued for its antiseptic and digestive properties, making it both a culinary and wellness staple.
