Crafted in the heart of Bethlehem of Galilee, a region steeped in biblical history and natural beauty, this Ground Za’atar Spice Mix offers a culinary experience rooted in the Holy Land’s sacred soil. Known in ancient times for its fertile terrain, Bethlehem of Galilee is believed to be part of the agricultural heartland referenced throughout the Bible. This connection to the land’s holy heritage infuses every jar of this spice mix with an unparalleled authenticity.

The blend features dried hyssop, a herb mentioned repeatedly in the Bible for its cleansing and healing properties. Leviticus 14:4 (NIV):

“The priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the person to be cleansed.” Hyssop’s connection to cleansing and sacred practices makes it a meaningful addition to this za’atar blend, imbuing it with both historical and spiritual significance. Its biblical symbolism deepens the connection between the Bethlehem of Galilee’s fertile land and the rich, earthy flavors of this spice mix. Combined with aromatic brown sesame seeds, zesty sumac, and a touch of rich olive oil, this za’atar mix delivers a flavor profile that is earthy, nutty, and tangy – capturing the essence of the land from which it originates.

The expertise of the Zitershpiler family, pioneers of the spice industry in Israel for over 50 years, shines through in every pinch. From hand-selected herbs grown in the lush fields of Bethlehem of Galilee to a meticulous blending process, this spice mix represents the pinnacle of Israeli spice craftsmanship. Use it to elevate roasted vegetables, baked breads, or grilled meats, and experience a taste of the Holy Land in every bite.
