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, 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.
Award-Winning Goats Milk Lebny with 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 & 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’.

Mark III - Another Sweet Taste of Heaven
This year's extremely moreish version of Baba's Rashi & Dibis is a natural progression of the various ways in which it can be eaten except this time it's prepared with slightly Salty and Spicy Caramelised Walnuts. Aside from being mopped up and scooped with warm bread whenever something sweet is craved for, it can be used for flavouring savoury dishes too - simply dilute with a little warm water and use it much like a Teriyaki sauce to marinate chicken, vegetables, tofu or paneer.

On the 2nd of September 2018 we were absolutely thrilled and delighted to receive the Golden Fork Award for London and the South East for our Rashi & Dibis with Sesame Seeds. The award was presented to us by the Guild of Fine Food at the Great Taste Golden Fork Awards, which are considered to be the Oscars of the food industry.
We were amazed when we became one of the 192 3-star Great Taste Award winners out of 12,634 products entered, but could hardly contain ourselves having been chosen to receive one of the 18 Golden Fork Awards for 2018. Entries were judged by over 500 critics, chefs, restaurateurs, retailers and food writers involved across five months of judging at the Guild's premises in Dorset and London, as well as specialist judging venues.
This sesame seed version of Rashi & Dibis is just a natural progression of the original one that was first developed in 2012 and scooped a 3-star award in 2015. For this year's version we've added sesame seeds to give it a great crunch.
This is what some of the judges had to say about Baba's Rashi & Dibis with Sesame Seeds, "An exciting journey of flavours and textures; nutty, sweet, creamy and toasty".

Manna from Heaven is a unique Middle Eastern delicacy made from the resin of trees which grow only in the north of Iraq, combined with mixed almonds, pistachio nuts and cardamom. Alternatively, traditional Jordanian Nougat is made with scrumptious pistachio and apricot skin - perfect to enjoy with her feet up and a cup of coffee.
Just like Mama used to make!
A recipe containing no herbs and spices would be very bland indeed and no self respecting Arabian kitchen would be without its own favourite blend of Baharat - the Arabic word for a mixed blend of spices.
Used to flavour every day meals, Baharat is a staple ingredient in every Arabian spice rack and Terra Rossa is delighted to bring its own recipe to the great kitchens of the United Kingdom.
Congratulations
A big congratulations to the winner of our competition and thank you to everyone who entered!

Gastronomic New Mini Tri-Gift Box Range
Retailers looking for exciting new impulse gift purchases to make an interesting change from traditional wines and chocolates should look no further than the latest new launch from Terra Rossa - a mini gift box containing three of its finest Great Taste Award-Winning Olive Oils: Sinolea, Lemon and Chilli infused olive oils.
Truly traditional Easter treats
With Easter on the horizon, why not bring the healthy taste of the holy land into your home with some of the finest extra virgin olive oils in the world - brought all the way from the red soils of Jordan by Terra Rossa.
Whilst Christians across the world will be celebrating the rise of Jesus Christ on Sunday 8th April, few will realise that many of the olive groves from which Terra Rossa's oils are reaped were actually around to bear witness to the historic event. What better gift could you give to loved ones to celebrate Easter than a beautifully presented gift pack of the very finest Sinolea olive oil - either natural and bursting with fresh olive flavours, or infused with herbs such as mint, basil, chilli or lemon.
Those who gave up chocolate for Lent might prefer to continue their new healthy lifestyle beyond the traditional 40 days - so rather than chocolates - present them with delicious infused extra virgin olive oils, which are tantalising to the taste buds soaked into fresh crusty bread; and can help to protect their health too!
Of course if sweetness is a must - and kids do love to have an Easter Sunday Egg Hunt - why not introduce them to some traditional sweets from the holy land too including mouth-watering sugared coated almonds and assorted nougats bursting with pistachios.
For something extra special this Easter check out our website - and don't forget, delivery is completely free until Tuesday 10th April!
A feast of fabulous foods
Don't forget that Mother's Day is fast approaching (18th March) - so make sure you show her how special she is by giving her a delicious gift that will keep her healthy too. Did you know that a couple of spoons of top quality extra virgin olive oil can lower cholesterol in just a week?
With the Easter holidays also on the horizon, now is a great time to stock up on essentials to add a bit of spice to the occasion. Herby Zaatar adds a delicious thyme taste to that Easter Sunday Roast and a generous sprinkle of Zesty Sumac will add a delicious lemony taste to transform casseroles and stews into a gastronomic delight.
As for the "Kids Easter Sunday Egg Hunt" why not add something new like the Jordanian sweets "Manna from Heaven" and tell them the story behind it, (details here on the website) along with the amazing "Sugar Coated Almonds" or "Assorted Nougat with Pistachios".
Zaatar Sauce and Dukka Harrisa are all staples of the food cupboard as they are so versatile they can be enjoyed for any occasion and also make a quick fulfilling meal in minutes. If friends pop in unexpectedly each of the herb mixes or sauces make a great dip with crusty bread, or add to pasta, jacket potatoes or as a pizza topping for an instant tasty treat.
Perk up your health!
Whilst many of us are starting the New Year with resolutions to improve our well-being - whether by cutting down on fatty foods and alcohol, or giving up smoking - few realise that simply introducing Olive oil into their daily diet can have the most amazing health benefits of all.
