Once again, Miel Impérial brings you its organic thyme honey! Needless to say, it's one of the best-known monofloral honeys. In fact, what makes it so popular is the wide range of uses it can be put to.
Description of our organic thyme honey
Our organic thyme honey comes from Spain, where thyme fields are abundant. It's a "monospecific" or "monofloral" honey, meaning that the bees have mainly picked the same flower.
Its taste is powerful and aromatic, and its color can vary from golden to brown. Its texture is thick and creamy. It's also important to note that it's certified organic by ECOCERT FRANCE.
This delicious nectar is packed with health benefits, and can be used both externally and internally. All its virtues are thanks to the hard-working bees that gather its precious pollen.
Indeed, the flowers from which it is made come from this aromatic plant, used since ancient times for its medicinal virtues. Like most wild plants, it is very rich in active ingredients, which are the result of climatic and environmental conditions.

Thyme's active ingredients
Thymol is a component found in the fragrant essential oils of many plants. It is often used for its antiseptic, antifungal and antibacterial properties to stabilize certain pharmaceutical preparations.
Linalool is found in many plant species. It gives a fresh, pleasant scent to many aromatic herbs and fruits. In addition to thyme, it's also found in lavender, cardamom, sage, mint, oregano, rose..
Its main role is to protect the plant by repelling predators, such as certain harmful insects. It also plays an important role in pollination and plant reproduction. In particular, it helps attract bees so they can carry pollen from the stamens to the pistils as they forage.
