Wild zaatar

The exact scent of the mountain at dawn. A raw, intense blend, picked where nature sowed it.

Our zaatar isn't farmed — it's gathered. Stem by stem, in spring, on the limestone slopes of Mount Lebanon, then slowly sun-dried to preserve its essential oils.

Roasted vegetables

Marinades & grills

Rubbed onto meats and fish before cooking for deep flavour.
