This thyme is grown and processed in a controlled organic way at an altitude of 1000m in Andalusia, Spain by experienced farmers. The Mediterranean climate with seasonal temperature fluctuations of strong heat and drought and cold nights allow the thyme to form its special ingredients and flavors in a harmonious relationship. These include terpinen-4-ol and gamma-terpinene. The essential oil is extracted from the fresh flowering herb by gentle steam distillation in the local distillery. The passion and experience of the farmers and distillers in cultivation, harvest and production is reflected in the round aroma of the essential oil.

This thyme (Thymus vulgaris) is the typical garden thyme, which forms a high proportion of linalool. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family. It forms whorled clusters of bright purple to white flowers from late spring to early summer. Originally it is found in the western Mediterranean area as far as southern Italy. Depending on the origin it forms different ingredients more strongly, therefore there are so-called chemotypes (ct.), linalool, thymol, geraniol and thujanol which are contained in the essential oil. It is popularly used as a spice in the kitchen.
