Introduction: Zaatar, a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, is a versatile and flavourful blend that has been cherished for generations. Our Zaatar combines the perfect mix of our dry Lebanese zaatar blend with premium extra virgin olive oil, just like you’d find at a Lebanese teta's house. This ready-to-use blend eliminates the guesswork, allowing you to enjoy authentic Lebanese flavours with ease.
The Magic of Zaatar: Zaatar is more than just a herb blend; it's a symbol of Lebanese culinary tradition. Comprised of Lebanese oregano, sumac, and sesame seeds, our Zaatar is mixed with single-origin cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil to create a rich, aromatic flavour that’s both tangy and earthy.
Convenience at Its Best: Our Zaatar is crafted to provide the perfect balance of herbs and oil, ensuring you get the same authentic taste every time. By eliminating the guesswork, you no longer need to worry about measuring out the perfect ratio of herbs to oil. Traditionally, preparing zaatar involves mixing dry herbs with olive oil, which can be tricky to get just right. Too much oil can overpower the herbs, while too little can make the mixture dry and less flavourful. With our pre-mixed Zaatar, you can enjoy a perfectly balanced blend straight from the jar, making it a hassle-free addition to any meal, whether you're a seasoned chef or a home cook exploring new flavours.
