Za’atar is a traditional and ancient blend of spices native to the Middle East, dating back as far as the 12th century. This version from Kamā features fragrant nuttiness from sesame seeds, along with robust dried thyme and cumin. It is lightly salted and nicely zesty, pairing well with its herbaceous notes. We love the clear herb and spice forward flavor all made with high quality ingredients brought to us by the women at Kamā who are deeply passionate about great food.

Shatta is a widely used chili paste from Palestine and Jordan, used similarly to American hot sauce and North African harissa. This staple, a combination of green or red chili peppers, garlic, olive oil and salt, is spooned on anything from mezze items to rice, stews, meats, breads and more—whatever could use a punch of bright heat. In this red version, the addition of vinegar further brightens the flavor, combining with a coarsely chopped mix of spicy red chili flesh and seeds. It takes only a small dash to elevate and strengthen the flavors of whatever dish you add it to.

In this green version, the grassy essence of fresh chilies comes through with just enough acid and salt to carry the flavors. This green shatta from Kama is equally as spicy as its red counterpart, but with the addition of thyme and oregano, it also offers herbal flavors of za’atar. Kama, and the local farmers and producers they work with, share a commitment to sourcing, producing, packaging and promoting the finest Middle Eastern culinary products.
