Tart, green, and a little toasty, with sesame and a lemony tang from sumac: za'atar is the Middle Eastern herb blend you will want on almost anything savory. Brush flatbread or pita with olive oil, scatter it on, and bake for the classic za'atar flatbread (manoush). Beyond that, stir it into olive oil as a dip, spoon it over strained yogurt (labneh) or cottage cheese, or shake it onto chicken and roasted vegetables.
Za'atar lives or dies on freshness, as anyone who has reached for a tired, dusty jar knows. Ours is blended in small batches in Portland from thyme, sumac, sesame, and oregano, no fillers and no salt, so the herbs stay green and the sumac keeps its bright, citrusy tang.
Ingredients: Thyme, Sumac, Sesame Seeds, Oregano. Contains sesame. No salt, no sugar, no preservatives. Naturally gluten-free and vegan.
Common Questions
What does za'atar taste like?
What does za'atar taste like?
Herby and savory with a distinct tart, lemony edge. The thyme and oregano bring the green, earthy notes, the sesame adds a toasty roundness, and the sumac gives that bright, citrusy tang that makes za'atar so recognizable.
I have a jar and no idea what to put it on. Where do I start?
I have a jar and no idea what to put it on. Where do I start?
Olive oil. Stir a few spoonfuls into good oil and dip warm bread, or brush it on flatbread and toast it. From there, shower it over eggs, hummus, roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or a bowl of cottage cheese or labneh. It suits almost anything savory.
How is it different from dukkah?
How is it different from dukkah?
Za'atar is a fine, dry herb blend with sumac and no nuts, meant for sprinkling and stirring into oil. Dukkah is a coarse, nutty, crunchy blend built for dipping. If you want tangy and herbal, reach for za'atar; if you want nutty crunch, reach for dukkah.
How do I keep it fresh?
How do I keep it fresh?
Store it sealed in a cool, dark spot away from heat and steam. Freshly blended za'atar is worlds brighter than an old jar, so buy an amount you will use within a few months and keep the lid tight.

I needed za’aatar for a recipe, never heard of the stuff. Fast forward a week to the Portland farmers market and saw it in the spice pilgrims stall and bought it. I have to tell you, I use this spice everyday now, like addiction level love for a spice. I’ve bought two other brands since and none have compared to the spice pilgrims blend in quality, consistency, or taste, in my opinion.
Wow I use this on so many things grilling meat, fish, eggs, great on salads and of coarse for a pita dip with olive oil. Highly Recommend trying this Za'atar
