This is a different type of thyme from the common variety (Thymus vulgaris), with its own distinctive character and a particularly rich natural composition.
Thymbra capitata grows wild in the dry, volcanic landscape of Lemnos, where the local conditions give it its distinctive qualities.
It is especially rich in thymol and carvacrol, two natural compounds known for their antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Its essential oil also contains other natural compounds, including p-cymene, γ-terpinene and borneol, as well as rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid, which contribute to its antioxidant properties.
What makes this thyme particularly interesting is its high concentration of natural active compounds. Some analyses have found <strong>thymol </strong>levels of up to 60–70% in its essential oil, making it quite different from many of the more familiar thyme varieties.
For us, it is another wonderful example of the distinctive herbs that grow in the Greek landscape, shaped by the local soil, climate and natural surroundings.
Sprinkle over roasted meats, blend into marinades, infuse into herbal teas, or elevate soups and stews with its bold, earthy aroma.
