Terre Exotique Zathar 500g

Terre Exotique Zathar (Za’atar) 500g. Terre Exotique Zathar 500g is a large-format artisanal Middle Eastern spice blend inspired by the traditional Lebanese za’atar mix. Produced by the French spice specialist Terre Exotique, it is designed for both professional kitchens and serious home cooking, offering a generous quantity of this aromatic seasoning.

The blend is built around the classic trio of ingredients: toasted sesame seeds, dried thyme, and sumac, often finished with salt for balance. This combination creates a distinctive flavour profile that is earthy, nutty, tangy, and slightly citrusy, with the sumac providing a bright lemon-like acidity that defines traditional Levantine cuisine.

Zathar is traditionally used throughout Lebanon and the wider Eastern Mediterranean as both a seasoning and a table condiment. One of its most iconic uses is being mixed with olive oil and eaten with flatbread, but it is equally versatile in modern cooking. It can be sprinkled over roasted vegetables, used to season chicken or lamb, stirred into yoghurt or labneh, or added to marinades for fish and poultry.

The 500g format is unusually large for this type of spice blend, making it especially suitable for restaurants, catering, or frequent use in Mediterranean cooking. Its robust, fragrant profile holds up well in both raw applications and cooking, where it adds depth without overpowering other ingredients.

Overall, Terre Exotique Zathar 500g is a pantry staple for anyone exploring Middle Eastern flavours, delivering a traditional Lebanese spice experience in a high-quality, professional-size pack.
