What is Za’atar? Bring the taste of Israel to your table — no matter where in the world you are.
Learn how to make authentic zaatar at home with Chef David.
In this video, Chef David shows you how to recreate homemade za’atar using simple, accessible ingredients you can find anywhere.
Za’atar is more than a spice blend.
It is based on a wild herb native to the Land of Israel — an endemic plant that grows naturally only in this region and cannot truly be found anywhere else in the world.
For generations, this special herb flavored daily life here — mentioned by our ancestors, used in biblical times, and still a staple in Israeli kitchens today.
Since the original za’atar plant doesn’t grow outside this land, oregano is traditionally used as the closest substitute, preserving about 99% of the authentic flavor — allowing people everywhere to experience the taste of Israel at home.
With its earthy aroma, bright herbs, and warm sesame notes, za’atar instantly transforms:
🥗 salads
🍞 bread and dips
🍗 chicken or fish
🍚 rice dishes
🥙 olive oil + pita into something magical.
🍞 WANT THE PERFECT FLATBREAD?
Chef David will teach you how to make simple, authentic Israeli flatbread — step by step.
