Description

We offer natural thyme hydrolate for foods, from the species Thymus Vulgaris. In international practice, the liquid is designated as Thyme Natural Hydrolat. The plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family, and its plantations are maintained on Bulgarian land. The raw material comprises the leaves and flowers, separated from the woody stem, and it is precisely this part that carries the main share of the aromatic substances in the liquid. Cultivation follows an entirely natural path. The composition remains free of preservatives and colorants, as the natural cultivation regime does not allow foreign substances in the harvested plant mass. Steam distillation is the basis of the entire extraction. The purity of the aroma is due to the steam method, while the density of the scent comes from the concentration of aromatic substances in the harvested aerial mass. The color of the liquid ranges from yellowish to dark brown. The dark range results from the processed stalk, not from external intervention in the finished liquid. The consistency remains liquid, clear and free of sediment. The strength of the scent is high, and its profile combines an herbal base and woody notes that go together in the overall aromatic pattern. In addition, both the color and the scent come from the same plant raw material. In its finished form, the hydrolate conveys the character of the processed herb. Alongside the pure base comes the direct connection between the harvested aerial mass and the final aromatic profile of the distillate. Owing to the clear herbal line and the dark tone, the thyme remains recognizable in the finished liquid from the first to the last aromatic layer of the profile.

Application
Thyme stalk hydrolate, obtained by steam distillation from natural cultivation, is used in the food industry as a flavoring ingredient with a warm, herbal-spicy taste. It is suitable for flavoring sauces and marinades for meat and fish, salad dressings with a spicy herbal note, as well as soups and broths with a rich herbal profile. It is used in the production of bakery products with added herbs, in baked goods with a delicate aromatic nuance, as well as in pickles and marinating solutions with a balanced taste. It is also used in cheeses with herbal flavor notes, in ready meals with a spicy character, as well as in glazes for roast meat with a warm herbal taste. It is also used in the production of bouillon cubes, in seasoning blends for cooking, as well as in canned vegetables with a pronounced herbal aroma that gives an authentic taste to traditional recipes.
