Naturally dried thyme – Secrets of Sicily

Our Segreti di Sicilia line of preserves was born from the love for this land and its traditions, from the scents of our childhood, from our grandmother's secrets and from the rediscovery of an authentic and genuine past. Each product speaks of a specific territory, of a biodiversity that the world envies us. We choose each of them from our own crops or from our network, small and local productions and farmers who work the land with the same passion and respect as in the past. These genuine products are then transformed in our modern canning plant with the help of latest generation machinery. We use innovative cooking and preservation techniques that guarantee absolute respect for the original recipe and, at the same time, the preservation of all the organoleptic characteristics of the fresh product and its main nutritional aspects. The absence of preservatives and colorings allows you to taste a genuine product.

In Sicily, dried thyme is used in many preparations. One of our favorite uses is on freshly warm bread bruschetta. As with oregano, flavored butter, oil and salt can also be prepared with thyme. As it is, it is ready to be spread on grilled vegetables or to embellish a sauce, a salad or grilled meat, fish and vegetables.

Thyme, with its fresh aroma, is very suitable for the preparation of fish. It can be used during marinating to delicately flavor it or as a condiment for example for baked sea bass or sea bream baked in foil. Mixed with breadcrumbs and other flavourings, it is perfect for a salmon en crust. It also goes well in the mixture of fish balls and in a classic seafood carbonara.

Sea salt is flavored with the addition of spices and dried herbs. This mixing allows you to add taste and flavor to dishes without having to add quantities of salt. We follow a family recipe that allows us to respect the right proportions between salt and aromas and we only use strictly Sicilian, zero kilometer herbs and spices.
