What Makes Zejd Zaatar Special?

Wild Oregano – Aromatic & Herbaceous

At the heart of Zejd Zaatar is dried, ground wild oregano, valued for its distinctive earthy, aromatic character. Its savory herbal notes create the foundation of this traditional Levantine spice blend.

Sumac – Bright & Tangy

Sumac adds a naturally tart, lemony flavor that balances the richness of the herbs and sesame seeds. Widely used in Middle Eastern cooking, it brings a refreshing tang to zaatar without the need for additional citrus.

Roasted Sesame Seeds – Nutty & Toasted

Roasted sesame seeds introduce a warm, nutty flavor and a delicate crunch. Their toasted character complements the aromatic oregano and tangy sumac, creating a balanced, flavorful seasoning.
