Thyme is one of the most widely distributed herbs, being used throughout Europe and the Middle East, all the way to Cajun country. One of the oldest herbal cultivars- thyme has found its way to every corner of the global spice pantry. The intense herbaceous and woodsy aroma has a universal ability to please the palate and pairs best with foods that stand up well to that intensity- from game meats and root vegetables to beef and mushrooms or sausage gumbo!
