Savory (Satureja hortensis L.)
Lamiaceae (mint family)
Savory has a strong aromatic flavour, which could be compared to thyme (particularily, thyme harvested in summer).
The Iranian species, S. thymbra, is in flavour between common savory and thyme.
Savory contains an essential oil in varying amounts (1-2%). In contrast to the olfactorily similar thyme, savory contains only minor amounts of thymol.
Savory's aroma is closely similar to that of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and other spices containing thymol.
Despite savory's similarities to thyme, its applications are rather the opposite:It is rarely used for meats, but mostly for vegetables and mushrooms.

: All my consideration for your research, Salmida. Yet I am sure "cimbru" stands for the ordinary and popular "thyme" rather the sophysticated "savory" called in some parts of the country "miroase", which I admit is quite an odd name.
