Herbaceous Middle Eastern-Inspired Seasoning

Premium Zahtar Spice Blend

Earthy mixed herbs, tangy sumac and roasted sesame seeds for flatbreads, dips, vegetables, fish and everyday seasoning. 🌿✨

Zahtar, also commonly written as Za’atar, is a distinctive Middle Eastern-style blend combining earthy mixed herbs, bright sumac and roasted sesame seeds. The result is savoury, tangy and gently nutty, with enough texture to work equally well as a finishing seasoning or cooking blend.

Mix it with olive oil for warm bread, sprinkle it over hummus or yoghurt, add it to roasted vegetables, or use it to season chicken, salmon and flatbreads. Its balanced flavour adds interest without chilli heat.

A premium blend with no added salt or fillers — so the flavour comes from the herbs, tangy sumac and roasted sesame seeds rather than added salt.

Best for: pita bread, flatbreads, pizza bases, hummus, labneh, Greek yoghurt, feta, eggs, salads, roast vegetables, chicken and fish.

Snail repellent?

Bought to spread round amaryllis lilies - apparently oats repel slugs/snails. We will see. I used to like oats, but as vac injured son became gluten sensitive, I no longer buy them for just me. Happy to share them with the snail population until they move house. meantime will hise the packet from son.

Very easy

Very easy. Product quality always great. Shipping always prompt. New letters informative. It'd be great if shipping was free for repeat customers. When you only require a small quantity of spices replaced the shipping charge can make it not so price competitive.
