Jvalleys Jerusalem Zaatar – A Timeless Flavor Rooted in Tradition, Now Loved Worldwide

For generations throughout the Middle East, wild thyme — called Zaatar in Arabic — has been valued both as a flavorful ingredient and a part of cultural tradition. Growing naturally across the mountains of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, this fragrant herb has been blended with regional spices over the centuries, creating the well-loved mix known today as Zaatar.

When paired with fresh bread and a drizzle of olive oil, Zaatar offers a unique savory taste while also being appreciated for its traditional wellness benefits. Among these, its association with supporting memory has made it a lasting favorite in everyday meals.
