Thyme Lemon, Large Bunch

Lemon Thyme Large Bunch is a large bunch of lemon thyme – the aromatic variety of thyme with a distinctive citrus note layered over the classic herbal thyme character. Lemon thyme is one of the most versatile of all herb varieties. As a result, it suits both savoury cooking and dessert preparations in a way that standard thyme does not. Furthermore, the citrus and herbal combination makes lemon thyme outstanding with fish and shellfish. In particular, a large bunch provides generous quantities for seasoning, stuffing and finishing dishes.

About Lemon Thyme Large Bunch

We source our fresh herbs from specialist herb growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its condition, fragrance and flavour. As a result, the herbs we deliver meet a standard well above what supermarket plastic packets provide. Furthermore, large bunches give you a genuinely useful quantity. They let you use herbs generously rather than sparingly. However, the freshness of a herb makes all the difference to both flavour and aroma. In particular, herbs that have sat in cold storage for several days lose the volatile oils that carry their character. Additionally, we deliver direct from our growers so you cook with herbs at their most fragrant. A short supply chain from field to kitchen makes all the difference. That is why Lemon Thyme Large Bunch from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Lemon Thyme Large Bunch From Us

Using fresh herbs generously transforms cooking. In contrast to dried herbs, fresh varieties carry volatile aromatic oils. These deliver fragrance, flavour and visual appeal simultaneously. As a result, good fresh herbs are among the highest-return ingredients in any kitchen. Furthermore, most herbs fall into two categories. Hardy herbs suit cooking. Delicate herbs are best added at the very end. However, even hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage benefit from a final scattering of fresh leaves to brighten the dish. In particular, storing herbs correctly extends their life considerably. Moreover, treat soft herbs like flowers. Stand them in a little water in the fridge to keep them fresh for several extra days. Additionally, hardy herbs keep well wrapped in damp kitchen paper. That is why we always include guidance with every delivery.

How to Cook Lemon Thyme Large Bunch

To get the very best from Lemon Thyme Large Bunch:

• Strip the leaves from the woody stems and use in marinades, stuffings and sauces.
• Add whole sprigs to a roasting tin with chicken, fish or vegetables during cooking.
• Furthermore, lemon thyme infuses beautifully into cream, butter and olive oil for a subtly citrus-herbal flavour.
• Additionally, use in a dessert preparation alongside lemon curd, panna cotta or shortbread where the citrus note shines.

Perfect Pairings

Lemon Thyme Large Bunch pairs beautifully with:

• Fish, scallops and shellfish where the citrus element complements the seafood
• Roasted chicken, rabbit or veal where lemon thyme adds complexity
• Lemon curd, shortbread or panna cotta in a dessert preparation
• A chilled white Burgundy, Chablis or a dry Provencal white alongside

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Store soft herbs like basil, coriander and parsley standing in a little water in the fridge. Cover loosely with a bag. Store hardy herbs like rosemary, thyme and sage wrapped in damp kitchen paper. Keep in a sealed bag in the fridge. Furthermore, most fresh herbs keep for 5 to 7 days when stored well. However, basil is the exception – store at room temperature as cold turns the leaves black. Delivered fresh and ready to use.

However you use it, Lemon Thyme Large Bunch brings a freshness and quality to any dish that dried or older alternatives simply cannot provide. Moreover, cooking with genuinely fresh herbs and garnishes is one of the most immediate ways to raise the standard of any kitchen.
