Za'atar is not just a blend spread on bread; it is part of the memory of every Jordanian home. Its aroma opens the morning, and its flavour gathers the family around one table.
What makes za'atar special?
The secret of good za'atar is the balance of its ingredients: carefully dried green za'atar leaves, tangy sumac, roasted sesame, and a touch of salt. The right ratio is what makes the difference between ordinary za'atar and one you'll never forget.
How to choose authentic za'atar?
Look for a natural greenish colour, a strong fresh aroma, and a soft, non-clumping texture. Natural za'atar needs no colours or preservatives to stay delicious.
More than just a man'oushe
Try za'atar with olive oil and cheese, sprinkle it over labneh, or add it to grilled chicken marinade. It's a Jordanian touch that suits every dish.
