Leaves of thyme harvested from the unspoiled land of the Iblei Mountains. Dried and carefully packaged to enrich your dishes with the flavors and aromas typical of Sicily. 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. Thyme honey from the Iblei Mountains is indeed a prized product, known since ancient times for its properties, now recognized by the Slow Food Presidia.

Iblei thyme, the result of labor 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 started Frutti degli Iblei, a social agriculture initiative dedicated mainly to the collection of wild herbs, such as thyme, and the cultivation of aromatic herbs. The thyme and other intensely fragrant 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 Powder" of the year at the 2020 International Taste Awards.
