Za’atar is a spice blend named after its key ingredient, a Levantine species of oregano which flourishes in Palestine’s characteristic arid conditions. Za’atar should taste savory, deeply herbal, piney, nutty, tart, and peppery. Burlap and Barrel’s Za’atar, grown and blended in Palestine, is a result of the expertise, persistence and creativity of farmers, millers, entrepreneurs, and freight forwarders. It is a classic blend where the herb is ground and mixed with sesame, sumac and salt. This staple, which has an ancient history, is used as a finishing spice, a seasoning to roast meat or vegetables, or as a dip mixed with fresh olive oil. This is truly an heirloom spice.
