Home cooking recites a story of emotions and memory, it connects us to a time and place in the past….

Feature 2

Za’taar is Wild Thyme. Wild thyme is a variety of thyme that grows on hilltops and mountains all over Lebanon. It is harvested in the summer and dried then ground into a fine powder which is then mixed with Sumac, Sesame seeds and salt, kept in airtight jars to last the whole year until the next season. Za’taar is an important ingredient in the Lebanese larder. A bowl of Za’taar is a prominent feature on kitchen tables all over the country. Mixed with oil it is the topping for the Man’oushi which is the quintessential Lebanese breakfast, the smell of Za’taar is imprinted on our collective memories as Lebanese. A smell that always takes us home, and reminds us of childhood days when we were encouraged to eat it before an exam

The Zataar in these jars was shipped from Lebanon, after it was harvested. It is of premium quality chosen by my sister, for home use, hence the name “Baladi” literally translated my home, usually referred to products that are home made. To see the story of Za’taar go to the film section on this site.

So I present to you this all natural product , with no additives or artificial colourings. Keep it in this airtight jar in a cool dark place and enjoy with ex

I really hope you try this product and enjoy it! I do appreciate your feedback.

With Love
