Za’atar, one of Israel’s most beloved spice blends, reflects centuries of culinary tradition brought back by diaspora communities. The Lebanese Jewish recipe combines hyssop—an aromatic biblical herb—with sumac, sesame, and olive oil, creating a rich, earthy, and slightly tangy flavor. This versatile blend enhances flatbreads, roasted vegetables, hummus, and grilled meats, making it a staple in Israeli cuisine.
Pair it with Halva Kingdom’s premium whole sesame tahini, stone-ground to preserve its rich, nutty flavor and high nutritional value. Packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, this tahini is both a healthful and flavorful addition to any dish. Now available in an innovative squeeze bottle, it’s easier than ever to enjoy authentic Israeli flavors in every bite.

The Zitershpiler family has been growing spice for more than 50 years. Avi Zitershpiler, the owner of the farm, has absorbed the values of agriculture, landscape, nature and man since childhood, growing up and growing spice with his father Zvi, one of the pioneers of the spice industry in Israel.
After his military service in the Faculty of Agriculture and later in Naturoptia, Avi Zitershpiler has been continuously growing, processing, producing and marketing spices and herbs in Israel and around the world.
