Terra Rossa - Home of Zait & Zaatar (Arabic for Olive Oil & Thyme)
The Fertile Green Crescent, which covers Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, is home to some of the oldest olive trees dating back to the time of Jesus Christ. The Olive trees are planted in the “Terra Rossa” (Red Soil) region which is the biblical name given to this part of the Middle East. With its magnificent Mediterranean climate, this region has the ideal soil for cultivating olive groves, citrus fruits and grape vines.
Terra Rossa imports, distributes and produces its own range of Arabian UK hand-made cuisine incorporating herbs, sauces and spreads such as Red and Green Harissa, Aubergine Relish, Palestinian Zaatar & Pine Nut Sauce to mention but a few, and for those for a sweet tooth you should try Baba's Rashi & Dibis spread – the Arabian equivalent of peanut and a chocolate spread.
A Taste of Levantine Sunshine is Waiting for you on Stand 831 at SFFF '24
We are thrilled to announce that our Jordanian Lemon Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil has scooped another Great Taste Award this year making it a total of 75 GTA's for the whole Levantine range in 19 years.
To obtain an all-natural blend, Terra Rossa's Jordanian Lemon Infused olive oil is made by infusing the very best of freshly picked lemons with a 1st Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive oil that is made by stone crushing the finest half-green, half-black olives. For the oil to have that intense lemony flavour and aroma, at least 250gms of lemons are used to produce a litre of this infused oil.
The lemon oil is great for dipping with Terra Rossa's herb mixes be it the Palestinian Zaatar thyme mix or the Lebanese Sumac crushed citrus berries. It's amazing for drizzling over fresh green salads and vegetables, for marinating with fish and chicken, or for simply brushing on when grilling or barbequing for that incredible flavour. It is also sweet enough for use in baking cakes and crépe suzette.
Award-Winning Goats Milk Lebny with Palestinian Herby Zaatar
Terra Rossa is pleased to announce that it has scooped yet another Great Taste Award – its 74th in 18 years – for its exquisite Lebny Strained Yoghurt Balls & Palestinian Herby Zaatar Thyme Mix. Organised by the Guild of Fine Food and judged by a panel of over 500 food experts, this is what the judges said ‘The combination of the sharpness of the yoghurt balls with the aromatic blend of the zaatar is both a delight and a surprise. The tanginess of the goats mild yoghurt delivers great length of flavour and this is balanced very well with the zaatar’.
