FRÍGOLA, IBIZA’S FLAVOUR
Traditionally in the Pitiusa islands thyme flower was used for many applications, such as perfuming dried figs and snail stews, or soothing stomach pains and sore throats.
It contains highly aromatic essential oils with antiseptic properties.
But it is also the basic ingredient of frígola, a stomachic liqueur usually made by distilling thyme flowers in a still. After obtaining the extract a mixture of molasses alcohol and sugar is added.
And the result is a sweet, orange-coloured liqueur, which is not very dense but extremely aromatic with an alcohol content of around 30º. It is digestive, and is therefore usually drunk after meals, on its own or with ice.
