Za’atar\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMain Description:\u003c\/b\u003e We’ve tasted one too many flat, underwhelming za’atars, so we called in a favor from “The Palestinian Table” author Reem Kassis. She tested seven commercial spice blends for us and Beirut Spice Co.’s za’atar stood out. (Granted, nothing tops her mother’s wild-foraged za’atar that even Chris Kimball calls a “revelation.”) Beirut Spice Co. blends four traditional ingredients—aromatic-minty hyssop, citrusy sumac, toasted sesame seeds and sea salt—in a balanced proportion for an intensely flavorful seasoning that’s herbal, nutty and tangy. Not only does this za’atar use genuine Lebanese-grown hyssop instead of easier-to-find (and blander) substitutes, it’s made with only the flower of the hyssop plant. Most commercial za’atars mix in the stems and leaves, which dulls the flavor; sticking to the flowers yields the cleanest, purest hyssop aroma and taste. Beirut Spice Co. uses freshly picked, exclusively Lebanese-grown sumac, which gives the blend a punchy brightness you don’t often get in other jars. There are no preservatives or filler ingredients to get in the way—this is really good za’atar, handcrafted in small batches in Lebanon. Even the graphic design and packaging are done in-house, making this a 100% Lebanese product from start to finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet Weight: \u003c\/b\u003e3.5 ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/b\u003eHyssop, Sumac, Toasted Sesame Seeds, Sea Salt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllergens: \u003c\/b\u003eSesame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of Origin: \u003c\/b\u003eLebanon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare: \u003c\/b\u003eThis za’atar has a shelf life of two years.

Mission\u003cbr\u003eBanner Description: Beirut Spice Co. was founded by the Lebanese-American husband-and-wife team of Naseem and Tina Raad with one goal: Improve the circumstances of Lebanese people by sharing their culinary traditions. Between 2019 and 2020, Lebanon suffered an economic collapse that caused hyperinflation and widespread chaos, and the Raads decided to help by bringing traditional herbs and spices to the international market (and giving local farmers the profit margins they deserve). Every step of the production process is done in Lebanon by locals, preserving their culinary heritage while providing real economic relief for families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct SEO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Beirut Spice Co.
