Essential Oils
Deeply connected to the earth and the sun, its aroma is warm, penetrating and earthy. The essential oil is extracted from the flowering tops of this plant grown in the plains of southern Europe. It is used daily in cooking but also in inhalations and herbal teas.
An essential oil with an intensely earthy identity. The plant itself is in intimacy with the earth, of which it appears as an outgrowth.
If sweet thyme, with linalool, is a thyme for hilly terrain, strong thyme, with thymol, is more of a plain thyme.
