Valhalla Za'atar – A Middle Eastern-Nordic Fusion Spice Superfood Blend
This is za’atar the way it’s meant to be : crafted with the original, wild herb that gave the blend its name. Valhalla Za’atar follows the traditional Palestinian-Lebanese formula, using Origanum syriacum (wild Levantine thyme), sun-dried sumac, toasted sesame seeds, and a touch of Icelandic sea salt for mineral clarity.
What sets this apart? Zero shortcuts. No filler herbs, no citric acid, no stale seeds. Just real ingredients with real history, then elevated with black seed for immune support and amalaki powder, an Ayurvedic vitamin C powerhouse that adds functional depth without compromising authenticity.
Ingredients
wild thyme, sumac, toasted sesame seeds, Icelandic sea salt, oregano, black seed, amalaki powder
Wild Thyme – Foraged from the rocky hills of the Levant, this aromatic herb brings a resinous, earthy depth and sharp herbal power. Core to traditional za’atar, it anchors the blend with bold character.
Sumac – Ground from sun-dried berries, sumac delivers a bright, lemony tang that lifts and balances the herbal and nutty components. A vital part of Middle Eastern cuisine for brightness and acidity.
Toasted Sesame Seeds – Whole, unhulled sesame seeds, slow-toasted for deep nuttiness and crunch. Adds texture and rich flavor, and traditionally binds za’atar into a paste with olive oil.
Icelandic Sea Salt – Geothermally processed from Arctic seawater. Mineral-rich and clean tasting, this flake salt adds purity and crunch to every bite.
Oregano – Bold, peppery Mediterranean oregano adds warmth and complexity to complement the thyme. Supports digestion and brings classic herbal sharpness.
Black Seed (Nigella Sativa) – Sometimes called black cumin, this seed brings subtle bitterness, herbal heat, and a savory edge. Traditionally used for immune support and respiratory health.
Amalaki Powder – Also known as Indian gooseberry, this Ayurvedic superfruit adds a tart, slightly bitter citrus note and is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. Enhances immunity, skin health, and digestion.

Superfood : Amalaki (Amla)
Amalaki, also known as Indian Gooseberry or Amla, is one of nature’s most potent natural sources of vitamin C. Revered for over 5,000 years in Ayurvedic medicine, it has earned its place in the modern pantry not as a trend, but as a proven powerhouse.
This tart green fruit supports immune defense, improves skin clarity, and promotes digestion. Its antioxidants help reduce inflammation while its vitamin C content aids in collagen production, making it a favorite for both wellness enthusiasts and beauty seekers.
In Za’atar, Amalaki powder adds more than nutrition, it brings a sharp, green brightness that cuts through the warmth of sesame and wild thyme, lifting the entire blend with a whisper of earthy tartness. It’s functional, flavorful, and far from an afterthought.
Best used in dressings, dips, yogurt, or sprinkled after roasting to retain its full benefits, Amalaki adds health without compromising heritage.
Flavor Profile
Tangy, herbaceous, nutty, with a citrus-bright top note, earthy depth from wild thyme and oregano, and a subtle bitter-savory edge from black seed and amalaki.
How to use our Za'atar blend?
Mix with olive oil for a classic dipping sauce or za’atar paste. Sprinkle over labneh, hummus, or avocado toast. Dust onto poached eggs, roasted veggies, or flatbreads for citrus-herb crunch. Fold into salad dressings, yogurt sauces, or finish grain bowls, grilled meats, and baked feta. Best added post-cook or in low-heat prep to preserve the superfood potency of amalaki.
