This very popular perennial herb grows wild all over the Mediterranean region. In Italy it is almost easier to find it growing wild on most hills than it is to buy it fresh in shops. The flavour of the very small leaves of this little evergreen plant is quite intense. It suits all meat dishes, especially used in marinades made to tenderize the meat, but is especially suitable for lamb, pork and game. It is part of the aromi and has to be used sparingly because of it strength of flavour. Thyme is also used in the preparation of liqueurs such as Strega and Cent’erbe.
