Izrael zaa'tar ltd Hyssop Zaatar 100g Jar — Galilee aromatic blend with sumac & toasted sesame, Kosher

Izrael zaa'tar's Hyssop Zaatar is a traditional Galilean spice blend—hyssop, sesame, sumac, citric acid and salt—hand-packed in a 100g kosher jar to season breads, cheeses, salads and grilled dishes.

Rooted in Middle Eastern culinary history, this zaatar (also spelled Z’atar, Za’aatar, Zahatar or Zatar) is a fragrant, savory blend centered on hyssop (Marjora Syriacal). Sourced from the Galilee, this recipe marries two native hyssop strains—80% Kavrakoli and 20% Timoli—with toasted sesame and elm‑leaved sumac for a balanced citrusy‑tang and nutty backbone. Each jar is certified kosher by the Jezreel Valley Religious Council and packed by a local team that supports workers with special needs.

How should I use Hyssop Zaatar in everyday cooking?

Use this zaatar as a finishing spice or mix it into oils and doughs. Its concentrated aroma brightens simple ingredients—olive oil, labneh, eggs, roasted vegetables and grilled meats—so a little goes a long way.

• Sprinkle on warm flatbreads drizzled with olive oil for a classic breakfast.
• Mix with olive oil as a dip for bread or a marinade for chicken and fish.
• Stir into yogurt or labneh for a tangy spread over salads and mezze.
• Fold into doughs, pastries or savory bakes for an herby lift.

What makes this blend different from other zaatars?

This blend emphasizes hyssop from two specific Galilean strains, giving it a distinctive herbal top note that contrasts with the more commonly used thyme‑forward zaatars. The inclusion of elm‑leaved sumac adds a lemony brightness while sesame seeds provide texture and a toasty finish.

• 80% Kavrakoli and 20% Timoli hyssop strains for a unique aroma.
• Toasted sesame seeds for nutty crunch and depth.
• Elm‑leaved sumac for subtle citrus acidity without added lemon.
• No preservatives or artificial colors—pure spice blend.

How do I store this zaatar to keep it fresh?

Keep the jar sealed and stored in a cool, dark place to preserve aroma and oils. Avoid moisture and direct heat—proper storage retains the blend’s flavor for months and prevents clumping.

• Seal lid tightly after each use to limit air exposure.
• Store in a pantry or cupboard away from the stove or sunlight.
• Use within a year for peak freshness; gently mix before serving if oils settle.
