This is a listing for either 6 or 8 ounces (bag) of hyssop (wild thyme) used in zaatar recipes. It is hard to come by as the zaatar-making industry is the main market. The Bedouin Company has been able to get some & is now offering it wholesale. If more is required, we can have it prepared & sent to us - processing time would be three weeks. If only there were ways to share the aroma with you through the Internet, you might fall in love with it just as we have. This is wild thyme, also known as zaatar, Romani hyssop, Bible hyssop. It serves as a base for the Jordanian zaatar. During the Middle Ages, it was popular in soups, stuffings, seasoning game meat, e.g. venison. It’s used to season fatty meats as it breaks down the oily taste. It’s used as a tea, compound (herb) butter, which is then spread on proteins & vegetables. We are Bedouin. Not only do we sell the spices, but we also use them. We can attest to their authenticity & quality. The Bedouin Company follows in the footsteps of a past generation. Our maternal grandfather was a spice trader in Palestine. in the late 1940s, he was displaced from his home & joined the Bedouins in neighboring Jordan. Back then, most of Jordan was still a desert community - even Amman - so spice trading was conducted from the back of a camel. Our grandfather would go on to establish the first spice shop in downtown Amman. He also managed to fund a very new small producer which would go on to be the best spice producer in Jordan today. After our grandfather’s passing, the shop closed, but the best memories & dreams live on.
