Thyme is a quintessential Mediterranean herb, with fine leaves and a slightly pungent, earthy, and floral taste. Fragrant and delicate, it withstands cooking well and pairs with almost all savory dishes. It is one of the fundamental herbs of Mediterranean basin cuisine, notably in blends like bouquet garni or Herbes de Provence.
