The za’atar plant is a type of wild thyme native to the Middle East and Levant. Fresh, it’s often used in salads, pies like fatayer, and flatbreads for its bright, herbal flavor.

When the herb is sun-dried and crushed, it becomes the star ingredient in the za’atar spice blend ; mixed with sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and salt to create a shelf-stable mix that adds bold, effortless flavor to almost anything.

Yes! Every region in the Middle East has its own take on za’atar; from Jordan and Palestine to Lebanon; each with unique flavor and texture.

Our blend is authentically Lebanese, made with true wild thyme (Origanum syriacum) grown in Lebanon for its bright, earthy flavor. Some blends use other herbs as substitutes, but real za’atar comes from wild thyme - and you can taste the difference.

Za’atar is a fragrant Mediterranean herb;  part of the oregano and thyme family - that’s
native to the Levant. It has a bright, earthy, slightly tangy flavor that instantly wakes up any dish.

It’s also the name of the spice blend made from the herb itself, mixed with sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and sea salt. In Lebanon, za’atar is a pantry staple -sprinkled on pita, mixed with olive oil, or added to dips for that signature bold, citrusy flavor.

In short: za’atar is both an herb and a taste of tradition; fresh, zesty, and full of history in every pinch.

Our za’atar begins in Lebanon, sourced from women-owned farms that hand-harvest the
finest herbs for authentic flavor and exceptional health benefits. We keep it pure - no preservatives, no fillers, just real ingredients that let the flavor shine.

Every batch is crafted by our all-women team in Cleveland, who mix, pack, and seal each blend with care and integrity. Our za’atar is vegan, gluten-free, keto-, and paleo-friendly; it’s flavor you can trust, and quality we proudly stand behind.

Za’atar might just be the most versatile spice blend in your kitchen. Tangy, earthy, and savory, it adds instant flavor wherever it goes.

Traditionally, it’s mixed with olive oil and spread over man’oushe - a warm Lebanese flatbread that’s as comforting as it is delicious. But that’s just the start.

Sprinkle za’atar on hummus, roasted veggies, salads, eggs, or chickpeas. Use it as a rub for chicken, fish, or meat, or stir it into dressings and marinades. The sumac in our blend adds a bright, citrusy kick ; all the flavor of lemon, without the squeeze.

Our pure Lebanese sea salt comes from the ancient coastal village of Anfeh, where salt has been hand-harvested since 1400 B.C.

Sourced through a Fair Trade supplier, it supports local workers and helps preserve the historic Salinas. The salt is sun-dried, unrefined, and collected by hand using ancestral methods passed down for generations.

Each crystal is rich in natural minerals and carries the pure, traditional flavor of the Mediterranean.
