Za'atar

Za'atar is the most beloved spice mix in Palestine. Za’atar is traditionally eaten for breakfast with olive oil and fresh flat bread.

Canaan women’s cooperatives make za’atar according to tradition with freshly harvested and dried oregano, roasted sesame seeds, and sumac. The fresh aroma of oregano, the acidity of sumac, and the nutty flavor from sesame add up to a winning combination of texture and flavor.

Za’atar pairs perfectly with olive oil as a delicious marinade for meat or zesty seasoning on vegetables that springs to life with flavor. Sprinkle it on cream cheese, yogurt, or toasted bread for the perfect accent.
