Dried Sicilian Thyme 20g

The Sicilian Thyme dried from the Azienda Agricola Due Palmenti encapsulates all the aroma of authentic Sicily! 

Etymologically, the name of the genus Thymus most likely derives from the Latin “Tymis” or “Thymòsus,” meaning “having scent” or from the Greek Thymòs, “soul”; a second hypothesis traces it back to the Egyptian “tham,” a term referring to a plant used for washing embalmed bodies.

Thyme is a typical species of the Mediterranean scrub, exhibiting a bushy growth habit with small, linear-lanceolate, cottony, and whitish leaves on the underside. The flowers, which are pinkish-white to lilac, are grouped in spikes at the leaf axils. It grows spontaneously in dry, sunny soils from the cliffs to altitudes of 800 meters above sea level.

One of the many typical products of beautiful Sicily that Due Palmenti has decided to enhance by bringing it to the attention of the general public.

Sicilian Oregano: How It Is Produced

To produce its Sicilian thyme, Due Palmenti uses the flowering tops of the thyme harvested during the summer. Once collected, the flowering tops are gathered into bunches and subjected to drying in the shade, in warm, dry, and well-ventilated places or in a dryer, so as to preserve the aroma and thereby extend its shelf life.

The Sicilian thyme from Due Palmenti is cultivated according to the principles of a sustainable and environmentally-friendly form of agriculture, through the use of organic fertilizers and the absence of synthetic chemical products.

All phases are carried out by hand, from transplanting to weed removal, up to harvesting, drying, and packaging, thus imparting a strong territorial characteristic to the product itself.

Sicilian thyme comes in a convenient packet containing 20g of product.

Shelf life: 24 months from packaging
