Madina Palestinian Za'atar

Madina Zaatar (Thyme) is a traditional Palestinian za’atar – dried thyme blended with sunflower oil, spices and salt – ready to enjoy the classic way with olive oil and fresh bread. It comes in a kraft stand-up pouch with a window, so you can see the blend inside. Choose 150g, 300g or 600g from the options above.

Dip warm bread in olive oil and then in za’atar for a traditional breakfast, spread a za’atar and olive oil paste on dough to bake manakish, or sprinkle it over labneh, hummus, eggs, salads, roasted vegetables and chicken.
