Jordanian Zaatar

Jordanian Za'atar: A Treasured Blend of Flavors

Immerse yourself in the rich culinary heritage of Jordan with our authentic za'atar blend. Crafted with care, this traditional mixture combines the aromatic essence of wild thyme (hyssop), the nutty warmth of roasted sesame seeds, the earthy notes of wheat, the vibrant tang of sumac, and the perfect balance of salt.

Za'atar is not only the Arabic name for the wild thyme herb but also the beloved spice blend that has graced Middle Eastern tables for generations. The wild thyme used in our blend, also known as "Bible hyssop," "Romani hyssop," or "Persian za'atar," originated in the Middle East and has gained global acclaim for its distinct flavor profile.

For those who have relocated to the USA and yearn for the familiar taste of their local za'atar, our authentic Jordanian blend offers a taste of home. Its bold and harmonious flavors elevate any dish, from traditional dips and flatbreads to modern culinary creations.

Traditionally, Jordanian za'atar is used as a dip with olive oil or as a topping for manakeesh (manaqueesh), the Middle East's version of a flatbread pizza. However, its versatility knows no bounds, and we invite you to explore the countless possibilities:

• As a coating for labneh (strained Greek yogurt)
• For roasting potato wedges and chicken
• As a filling for crescent rolls
• Sprinkled over sweet potato fries and popcorn
• Enhancing the flavors of hummus and other dips

At The Bedouin Company, our Bedouin and Palestinian roots allow us to attest to the authenticity and quality of our products. We take great care in the selection, packaging, and shipping of our spices, ensuring that each blend captures the essence of Jordan's culinary traditions. We also strive to support local small businesses, fostering a sense of community and preserving time-honored artisanal practices.
