Origem
Thyme originates from the Mediterranean region, where it grows naturally in dry, well-drained soils under strong sunlight. Lemon thyme developed through the selection of thyme plants with a more citrus-forward aromatic profile, while maintaining the resilience and characteristics of traditional thyme.
In Portugal, it adapts particularly well to dry and sunny climates and is cultivated in several regions of the country, especially in organic farming systems.
The organic production of lemon thyme reflects a sustainable approach that values practices respecting the plant’s natural cycles and ecosystem balance. This method contributes to leaves with greater aromatic intensity and superior quality.
Historically, thyme has been used both in cooking and in traditional practices, making it one of Europe’s oldest aromatic herbs.
Today, organic Portuguese lemon thyme stands out for its freshness, versatility, and connection to the land, representing the evolution of traditional aromatic herbs with more contemporary flavor profiles.
