Aroma seit mehr als 60 Millionen Jahren

Thymian existiert seit dem Paläozän. Er half beim Einbalsamieren von Pharaonen, schuf eine Verbindung zu den Göttern, verschaffte römischen Legionären Mut, schützte Ärzte und Diebe vor der Pest, diente noch im Zweiten Weltkrieg als lebensrettendes Antibiotikum, tröstet seit Jahrtausenden MelancholikerInnen und erfreut mindestens ebenso lange schon Gourmets und »Gourmettes« mit seinem köstlichen und vielschichtigen Aroma.
