Product description Greek Traditional Tomato Sauce with Thyme and Olive Oil Net Weight 560g (Pack of 2 glass jars of 280g each): Upon opening the jar, the atmosphere is totally consumed by the overwhelming aroma of thyme. Thyme has been used in cooking since ancient times and it is the ancient Greek symbol of boldness. The ancient Greeks used thyme in their food and they would also burn it in order to enjoy its wonderful fragrance. The Great Taste award judges said the “real authentic rich fruity flavour with a good sense of seasoning and a pleasant thyme edge” “the thyme came through with a wonderful freshness and clean tomato fruitiness balanced this great product.” That basically sums it all up! Be it a sauce, a dip, a condiment or whatever else… it is guaranteed to entice! Tomato sauce originated from the need to preserve excess crop in a time when there were no refrigerators. The tomatoes were being boiled and by adding olive oil as a natural preservative, they could be preserved for a longer period of time. Today it has been scientifically proven that lycopene -one of the antioxidants contained in tomato - can be found in a much higher concentration when the tomato is cooked. Tomato came to Greece in the 19th century and since then, all mediterranean countries have quickly integrated it, and made it synonymous to the mediterranean diet. Tomatoes are the major dietary source of the antioxidant lycopene, which has been linked to many health benefits. They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate and vitamin K.Combine this tomato sauce to pasta or add it to tomato stews. You can also spread it on toasted bread or on bruschetta, put a blob of it on saganaki, spread it lavishly on pizza or pasta and enjoy the strong aroma of thyme!
