Thyme, Spanish

  • Product number: 363060
  • Origin: Mediterranean region
  • Latin: Thymus mastichina

Can you get that delicious Thyme that we saw in Spain (or Portugal)? Here it is: we can, of course, offer this intensely and uniquely flavored and wonderfully fragrant herb! It is (of course) widely used in Spanish cuisine and can be used fresh or dried. The plants are best grown in pots, kept a bit drier in winter, and placed in a tunnel or shed during frost (not indoors). The leaves turn grey-green in the sun, and the flowers are bright white, which is also how the plant got the name "White Thyme." Expect a total growing height of about 30 cm.
The French recognize a resinous scent: Thym résineux

Names:
Latin: Thymus mastichina
