Flavour & aroma

Earthy, savoury and slightly minty, with a concentrated warmth. Dried thyme is stronger and more robust than fresh, making it ideal for long cooking.

Best culinary uses

  • Stews & casseroles – holds its flavour during slow cooking
  • Soups – especially chicken, bean, lentil and vegetable
  • Roast meats – lamb, chicken, pork, sausages
  • Roasted vegetables – potatoes, carrots, parsnips, squash
  • Stuffings & breadcrumbs – adds depth without overpowering
  • Tomato-based dishes – sauces, ragùs, baked tomatoes

Tip: Rub dried thyme between your fingers before adding — this releases the oils and boosts flavour.

Practical & traditional benefits

(Traditional use, not medical advice)

  • Aids digestion – often used with rich or fatty foods
  • Naturally antimicrobial – thymol contributes to food preservation and gut health
  • Respiratory support – commonly used in teas for coughs and sore throats
  • Antioxidant content – helps combat oxidative stress

Dried thyme was especially valued before refrigeration for both flavour and preservation.
