Thyme honey

Thyme is a woody perennial shrub that usually grows wild in sunny climates. Its leaves have multiple uses in the kitchen, they are used to flavour meats, cheeses and sausages and to give a touch of flavour to vegetables. But it is also characterized by its great medicinal properties.

The bees begin to produce thyme honey at the end of April, and conclude their process in mid-July.

You can appreciate the aroma of thyme when smelling this honey, such a characteristic and pleasant aroma with a balsamic touch.

Its colour is amber with different shades depending on the area where it is found; in our area, the Alcarria of Cuenca, it is a fairly dark honey, and it tends to darken even more when it crystallizes.

It has a very sweet flavour, very intense but delicate at the same time, which makes it one of the most precious for honey lovers, along with rosemary honey.
