Thyme honey is a creamy honey known for its unique taste and strong aromatic notes. It is also recognized for its beneficial effects on the digestive system. This honey, also known as farigola or timo in Catalonia and the Valencian Community respectively, comes from one of the classic Mediterranean aromatic herbs: thyme. Although thyme is not a single species but a genus (Thymus) that includes over a thousand different species, its varieties are often found in Mediterranean countries such as Spain, France, Italy, and Greece. In Spain, it is specifically found in the Valencian Community and Andalusia.

Thyme honey is one of the most valued raw materials due to the uniqueness of its properties. Thyme transcends being just an aromatic plant widely used in cooking and medicine. Its color can range from light amber to darker shades depending on the thyme variety present in the area. It has a very distinct intense floral aromatic note that clearly reminds us of the smell of the thyme plant. Its taste is sweet but subtle, with a very characteristic acidity sensation. Its crystallization is very light.

It is important to note that thyme honey, beyond its gastronomic value, has multiple health benefits. In these areas, the ancient Greeks were the first to discover the healing properties of thyme as a medicinal herb, as well as the benefits of its honey!

Storage should be in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. It is best kept at room temperature, as it tends to harden when cold. If necessary, it can be gently melted in a bain-marie.
