Za'atar

  • $10.00

Za'atar is the most beloved spice mix in Palestine. Za’atar is traditionally eaten for breakfast with olive oil and fresh flat bread. Canaan women’s cooperatives make za’atar according to tradition with freshly harvested and dried oregano, roasted sesame seeds, and sumac. The fresh aroma of oregano, the acidity of sumac, and the nutty flavor from sesame add up to a winning combination of texture and flavor. Za’atar pairs perfectly with olive oil as a delicious marinade for meat or zesty seasoning on vegetables that springs to life with flavor. 

The fresh aroma of oregano and wild thyme, acidity of sumac, and nutty notes of roasted sesame bring an exciting mix of texture and flavors. Za’atar spice pairs perfectly with olive oil for dipping and making manakeesh. This spice mix is versatile for so many dishes: marinade for meat, on vegetables, over salads, cream cheese and yogurt.

Where you buy za’atar matters: Canaan’s za’atar is made according to authentic Palestinian traditions. Made by women cooperatives by blending organically grown oregano, wild collected thyme and sumac, and native Palestinian sesame seeds. Artisanally blended with mothering care, giving you a true Palestinian experience. You almost go there.
