The special freeze-drying process preserves both the color and the intense aroma. By bringing it into contact with liquid, it almost returns to its fresh state. Thyme is very flavorful and tolerates long, slow cooking. Thyme tastes wonderful in stews, pies, terrines and hearty vegetable soups. It goes very well in tomato sauces, wine-based sauces and marinades for pork and game.
