Zaatar / Spicy Zaatar
DO Zaatar 250 ml
Zaatar, the best-kept secret of Lebanese, Middle Eastern and Near Eastern cuisine; a blend of aromatic herbs and spices, widely used in Arabic and Persian cuisine, with as many combinations as there are mothers boasting of their own secret recipe.
Officially, za'atar is a blend of thyme and other spices such as oregano, sumac, black pepper, cumin, lemon, and toasted sesame seeds. It is characterized by its fresh, herbaceous, and slightly tangy flavor. It is often mixed with extra virgin olive oil to create a paste ideal for spreading on pita bread. It is also commonly used as a condiment for salads, vegetables, roasted meats, fish, and many other dishes.
Zaatar is our tribute to this oriental cuisine, historically so present in our gastronomy, which we have combined with Arbequina, giving birth to a fresh, very aromatic and nuanced oil that we encourage you to try on any traditional recipe and, of course, on good toasted bread.
