Leaves of capitate thyme collected from the pristine lands of the Iblei Mountains. Dried and carefully packaged to enrich your dishes with the flavors and aromas typical of Sicily. Capitate thyme (Thymbra capitata), known in dialect as "Satra", is a typically Mediterranean shrub that has found its natural habitat on the slopes of the Iblei Mountains. From spring until July, its flowering, characteristic of the Iblei lands during this period, attracts swarms of bees. Iblei thyme honey is indeed a prized product, known since ancient times for its properties, today recognized by the Slow Food Presidia. The leaves are particularly aromatic and just rubbing them lightly between your hands allows you to perceive their sweet, fresh-balsamic scent, intensified by drying. The thyme from the Iblei, a product of social inclusion. In the heart of southeastern Sicily, the Iblei Mountains are a natural heritage rich in unspoiled biodiversity. On the rocky and sunny lands between the municipalities of Noto and Palazzolo Acreide, the cooperative has launched Frutti degli Iblei, a social agriculture initiative mainly dedicated to the collection of wild herbs, such as capitate thyme, and the cultivation of aromatic herbs. Thyme and other intensely fragrant aromatic herbs are lovingly cared for, harvested, processed, dried, and carefully packaged by skilled hands, in full respect of the ecosystem, to capture all the fragrance of our Sicily. Timo Dolci Evasioni won the Jury Award for the best "Dried/Powdered Aroma" of the year at the International Taste Awards 2020. This packet contains dried leaves of Iblei thyme, ready for use in the kitchen. Capitate thyme is perfect for flavoring dishes based on red meat, such as roasts and stews, but also white meat and fish. It gives an unmistakable aroma to soups and broths, grilled vegetables, and potatoes. Try it to add character to a simple tomato salad, alternatively or in addition to our oregano.
