Discover the exceptional flavors of Israel with two premium products that encapsulate the essence of the Holy Land’s rich agricultural traditions: HaTzav Superior Olive Oil and Za’atar Spice Mix.
HaTzav Superior Olive Oil – Produced by Ya’akov Haneman, this extra virgin, cold-pressed olive oil is crafted with the same methods that have been used in Israel for centuries, with one key difference. Ya’akov, much like a winemaker, carefully blends various olive species to create a perfectly balanced symphony of flavors. Olives from the Mediterranean — Arbequina (Spain), Leccino (Italy), Koroneiki (Greece), and Picholine (France) — each bring something unique to the mix: delicate flavor, flowery notes, woody undertones, and a hint of spice. The result is a beautifully balanced olive oil that shines in a variety of dishes.
Perfect for dipping bread, drizzling over roasted vegetables, or creating oil and vinegar salad dressings, HaTzav Superior Olive Oil is a versatile addition to any kitchen, bringing the flavors of Israel straight to your table.
Za’atar Spice Mix – A beloved staple in Israeli cuisine, Za’atar is a fragrant and versatile herb blend that has been passed down through generations. When Jewish diaspora communities from the Middle East returned to Israel, they brought their Za’atar recipes with them. The Lebanese Jewish community, in particular, created their own version, blending hyssop, sumac, sesame, and olive oil to produce a unique, aromatic spice mix.
Hyssop, a fragrant perennial shrub mentioned in the Bible, brings a rich, earthy aroma to the mix, while sumac adds a slight tanginess, and sesame contributes a nutty flavor. The result is a spice blend that is earthy, citrusy, and herbaceous — perfect for a variety of dishes.
Za’atar can be sprinkled over flatbreads or pita bread brushed with olive oil before baking, or mixed with olive oil for a delicious bread dip. It’s also fantastic drizzled over roasted vegetables, hummus, salads, grilled meats, and even roasted chickpeas. Its unique flavor profile makes it a favorite in Israeli cooking and a perfect pairing with HaTzav Olive Oil.
Together, HaTzav Superior Olive Oil and Za’atar Spice Mix bring a taste of Israel’s rich culinary heritage to your kitchen, offering versatility and authentic flavors to elevate any meal.
