Pickled Thyme | 220 g

Discover the distinctive flavors of the Mediterranean with Zejd Pickled Thyme, a traditional-inspired condiment made from delicately pickled wild thyme leaves soaked in Zejd extra virgin olive oil.

Carefully harvested while green and aromatic, the wild thyme develops a rich, savory character through pickling, while extra virgin olive oil adds depth and a smooth, satisfying texture. This pickled thyme in olive oil brings a delicious herbal touch to Lebanese mezze, fresh salads, sandwiches, and everyday Mediterranean dishes.

What Makes Zejd Pickled Thyme Special?

Wild Thyme – Aromatic & Herbaceous

At the heart of Zejd Pickled Thyme are carefully selected wild thyme leaves, harvested from fields where they grow naturally.

Known for their distinctive herbal aroma and savory flavor, these leaves capture the character of traditional Mediterranean herbs. Pickling gives them a pleasantly tangy dimension, creating a versatile condiment with a distinctive taste and texture.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Rich & Flavorful

Zejd's extra virgin olive oil complements the pickled thyme with its smooth texture and characteristic fruity notes.

By surrounding the thyme leaves in olive oil, the blend develops a delicious balance of herbal intensity and richness, making it an ideal accompaniment to fresh bread, creamy cheeses, and traditional Lebanese appetizers.

Traditional-Inspired Pickling – Distinctive Taste & Texture

Pickling transforms fresh herbs into a flavorful condiment with a character different from dried thyme or conventional spice blends.

Zejd Pickled Thyme offers a ready-to-enjoy way to introduce this distinctive preparation into everyday meals, bringing aromatic herbs and rich olive oil together in one jar.
