A sodium-free (without salt) blend as compared to our classic blend (which contains less than 2.5% of sea salt.) The lack of any salt in this blend unmasks the potent zaatar herb and sharper tart flavor of the sumac.
Fresh -- Mixed in Small Batches with Most Recent Zaatar Herb Harvest from Lebanon
Contains No Wheat/(Gluten-Free) - No Fillers - No Oils Added. Contains Three Mainstay Ingredients Only: Zaatar herb, Sumac, and Toasted Sesame Seeds.
Made with Genuine Zaatar Herb Ingredient (Scientific Name: Origanum syriacum, also known as Biblical Hyssop or Syrian oregano). The Zaatar Herb is Sustainably and Organically Grown in South of Lebanon/Upper Galilee Region, and contains High Essential Oil Content for Strong Flavor. The Sumac ingredient is also grown in Southern Lebanon at the base of Mount Hermon. The Sumac is pure with no salts or oils added.
This is a high quality organic and genuine Zaatar as compared to low quality commercial and common grades available on the market, which often contain substitutes to mimic the flavor of genuine Zaatar Herb native to the Middle East. Other brand use fillers (often unknown!) to increase volume, citric acid or other artificial substitutes in place of the Sumac.
We offer this Zaatar in a relatively generous seven ounce portion because we are confident you will enjoy it beyond a seasoning or spice. Try it as a dip food by dunking fresh bread or vegetable into olive oil then the Zaatar - sprinkle it on salads, soups, and sandwiches - stir it into a yogurt - knead it into dough and pastry - and experiment with its many culinary possibilities.
Our Za'atar's are hand-mixed using ingredients from most recent season harvests. Flavors remain strong for about two years, if stored in airtight container in dry place away from heat or sunlight.
