Description: 
Our Thyme Oil Red is made from the steam distillation of the flowering tops of the Thymus vulgaris plant. Thyme Oil Red grows close to the Mediterranean Coastline at low altitudes, these geographical conditions produce a Thyme Oil with a high “Thymol content”, also known as a “Thymol Chemotype”. This higher Thymol content is the main differentiating factor between Thyme Oil Red and Thyme Oil Wild. Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) has been cultivated by humans as long as records have been kept. The history of Thyme dates back to Ancient Egyptian times where it was used for embalming practices. Greeks and Romans also valued Thyme as a herb for flavoring food, as incense, for cleansing rooms and considered the dry herbs to be a source of courage. Thyme has been embraced for its culinary uses in modern history and is a staple in most herb gardens and kitchens around the world.
