Experience the flavors of the Middle East with this classic Levantine spice blend. Za’atar combines the tangy, zesty flavor of sumac & coriander with familiar dried herbs like oregano and thyme. Sesame seeds and Rumi's signature black cumin add a final layer of nuttiness to this flavor-packed blend.
Za’atar is especially versatile and can be used as a finishing spice as well as added throughout the cooking process. The vibrant core herbs and spices that make up this blend, like oregano, thyme, cumin, and coriander, add welcomed vibrancy to chicken and fish dishes. The sumac and sesame seeds add brightness and a nutty crunch, making za'atar just as enjoyable when sprinkled on top of fresh-baked bread or mixed with olive oil for an easy dip.

United StatesI messed up my order. Got a really nice email back saying they would fix it. Nothing came. Asked. Got another nice email saying they would mail this week. Nothing yet and no notice that it was mailed. Got dozens of promotional emails , though and suddenly lots of unrelated spam in my mailbox that seldom gets much spam.
United StatesEvery spice I've ever purchased from Rumi has been excellent!
United StatesI love Za'atar and have used other brands for years. This is a really good one with a good balance of all the components.
United StatesI am trying to eat a more Mediterranean style diet, and many recipes call for this blend. Rumi makes a wonderful Za’atar blend that I sprinkle on most anything. Buying from Rumi also supports a great cause.
United StatesI bought these Spice Blends as gifts, so I have not tried them yet. As an FYI, I respect and appreciate the work Rumi does in Afghanistan, and the freshness if your spices. It is important to me that my spices are fresh and flavorful, and I enjoy the products you offer. THANK YOU. I will continue to support your company, as long as pricing stays reasonable and the products are fresh. :)
