Provence Thyme

A tier

Provence thyme evokes the sun-baked Thymus of southern France—high aroma, often thymol-rich, the soul of herbes de Provence, grilled lamb, and ratatouille. Whether a specific cultivar or origin grade, the expectation is intense, resinous culinary thyme. Use with olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and summer vegetables. Dried Provence thyme should smell of the garrigue, not of dust. A benchmark for Mediterranean thyme character.
