Zaatar is the essential spice blend of the Levant, spanning the rich culinary traditions of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, and Iraq. It holds the same cultural significance in Middle Eastern kitchens as Herbes de Provence do in France. Max Daumin’s artisanal blend features a fragrant combination of toasted sesame, earthy thyme, and zesty sumac, rounded out with coriander, cumin, and ground chickpeas for a unique traditional texture.
Aromatic Profile: A perfect balance of warm, earthy notes and bright, citrusy highlights from the sumac.
Authentic Texture: The inclusion of chickpeas adds a subtle nutty depth and a traditional mouthfeel characteristic of high-quality Levantine blends.
Freshness Guaranteed: Individual pod packaging ensures the volatile oils of the thyme and the brightness of the sumac are preserved until the moment of tasting.
Usage & Pairings
The Levant Ritual: Mix with high-quality olive oil and use as a dip for pita bread, or spread it over flatbread before baking to make Manakish.
Modern Classics: Elevates homemade hummus, falafels, and labneh (strained yogurt).
Vegetables & Legumes: Incredible when tossed with roasted chickpeas, cauliflower, or grilled zucchini.
Proteins: Use as a dry rub for roasted chicken or sprinkle over pan-seared halloumi cheese for an instant trip to the Mediterranean.
Flavor Profile
An enchanting "sun-drenched" bouquet. The herbal warmth of the thyme is cut by the sharp, lemony acidity of the sumac, all grounded by the toasted richness of sesame seeds.
