Burlap & Barrel | Za'atar

Our spectacular za'atar is blended at origin in Palestine with locally grown herbs, sesame seeds and sumac.  Za'atar is a blend named after its key ingredient, a Levantine species of oregano that flourishes in the region's characteristic arid conditions, and it also includes sesame seeds, sumac and other ingredients, depending on who's making it. Good za'atar tastes savory, deeply herbal, piney, nutty, tart and peppery. We're able to share this za'atar because of the expertise, persistence and creativity of more people than you probably realize —  we assembled a scrappy team of farmers, millers, entrepreneurs, freight forwarders and at least one father-in-law who pieced together a whole supply chain for you.
