Our verdict on Alpi Nature zaatar
Review written by the Air d’Orient team · Updated on 19 September 2026
We have read buyers’ feedback on Alpi Nature zaatar to pick out what comes up most often, good and not so good.
The strengths
- A very fragrant blend, which makes a change from classic spices.
- Versatile use: meat, fish, tomatoes, tabbouleh, bread.
- Simple ingredients, with no additives or added flavourings.
- Two bags: to always have a spare.
Good to know
- A thyme and marjoram zaatar: it contains no sumac, which surprises those used to tangier blends.
- A rustic texture: you sometimes find bits of stalk, and the blend is salty.
Where we lean: to discover zaatar and flavour bread, salads and grills, it is a good introduction. For a large size, see the 250 g bag below, and find all our spices in our oriental spices section.
