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 Villa Jerada—sustainably and cooperatively grown, harvested and blended—was one of our top picks in a blind tasting. Well balanced between earthy and floral notes, Villa Jerada’s herbaceous blend has just the right amount of sumac tang and floral mint flavor from hyssop, along with a nutty and roasted sesame flavor. Highest rated by our tasters for its lovely, not-too-dry texture and pleasant natural oiliness, use it just about anywhere. We like it stirred into yogurt with some olive oil and lemon juice to make a yogurt sauce to top or dip your veggies; as a seasoning for meat, especially chicken, lamb or fish; mixed into vinaigrettes or to top flatbreads, pizza and homemade crackers. We especially like using it when making Yeasted Flatbreads with Za’atar Oil, Roasted Butternut Squash with Tahini and Za’atar and Tomato-Zucchini Tart with Za’atar and Feta.
