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.

In addition to that, so informative on each food item's page and finally fast delivery. Thank you SpiceBloom and I hope you continue the good job.
