Za'atar

The Middle East is renowned for its diverse spice blends, but none are surrounded by as much mystery as za’atar. For centuries, the recipe for this spice blend was one of the most closely guarded secrets of many families, although its distinctive flavor has been known since ancient times.

The za’atar herb blend from Jasmeen contains thyme, ground sumac, and roasted sesame seeds, which are key to achieving its unique, slightly tangy flavor.

Thanks to its balanced and proven combination of sesame, thyme, and spices, za’atar is perfect for meats and fish, for example, as a marinade addition. This spice transforms and enhances the flavor of everyday ingredients, pairing wonderfully with all vegetables. It is also ideal for breakfast dishes, going well with hummus, labneh, and bread.
