Lived in Israel for five years. This is the most authentic Za'atar I have found here in NZ.
Absolutely beautiful iv used it on chicken and lamb chops I'd be more than happy to buy again
Lovely taste, I will be buying again Leena was so fab to deal with even though I stuffed up my order she managed to put it right very quickly and kindly 5 stars all the way. I sprinkled it over keto rice as I made avocado and fresh salmon sushi rolls it just made it that much nicer. I will be making backed sushi over the weekend and intend to use it over that as well...thanks Leena im a very happy customer x
I dissolve half a tsp in hot water and add it to my breakfast (coffee flavoured) smoothie. It is next level delicious and I will definitely be a repeat customer
The economics of buying in bulk as well as this product is excellent quality.
