Za'atar, the holy hyssop, is an ancient herb or wildflower grown mainly in the Holy Land, especially in the Galilee region and Jerusalem of Israel. The name, za'atar refers to both an herb (Origanum syrianum), as well as a spice blend containing the herb. A wild form of oregano, za'atar has a flavor that is a cross between Greek oregano and thyme. Today, it is used as a spice and a medicine as it was in Biblical times. It is illegal to harvest wild za'atar in Israel, so Pyramid only buys za'atar that is grown under strict supervision of the National Za'atar Board of Israel.
This Kosher Za'atar and Olive Oil Gift Box, designed with a map of Canaan from 1860 B.C., comes with a bottle of extra virgin olive oil, believed to be a major contributor to the longevity of the Mediterranean people, and a pyramid container of the spice blend of hyssop seasoning. Pyramid seasonings are packaged in eye-catching, easy-to-use plastic pyramid containers to keep their products fresh during shipping and at your home.
The spice blend also contains: sumac, sesame, olive oil, parsley, and salt. Serve in salads, soups, and on cheese, eggs and pizza. Sprinkle some on meat or fish to enhance the flavor. The seasonings are all natural and contain no preservatives or artificial coloring.
