often used to bring brightness to rich, savory dishes, or fresh appetizers and drinks, these two ingredients are staples in middle eastern cooking for a reason. grown and produced in jordan using some of the country’s highest-quality harvests, they carry the sharpness and depth that define the region’s cooking, and add acidity and contrast in ways lemon or citrus alone can’t.
together, sumac and pomegranate molasses add a zesty lift that brings life to food without overpowering. they’re used across proteins, vegetables, grains, and salads, and they work just as well stirred into dressings and sauces as they do sprinkled or drizzled as a finishing when serving at the table. you can now have both of these 'bringers of zest' at 20% off their combined individual pricing.
the bundle includes:
one 2.5oz jar of ajlouni sumac: a bright, deeply tart spice made from ground sumac berries. it adds a citrusy sourness without liquid, making it ideal for seasoning grilled meats, roasted vegetables, salads, and flatbreads. sprinkle it over eggs, hummus, yogurt, or anywhere you’d normally add lemon.
one 11oz jar of pomegranate molasses: a thick, glossy reduction of real pomegranate juice with a bold sweet-sour bite. it’s used in marinades, dressings, and sauces, or drizzled sparingly to finish dishes. it brings tartness to grain bowls and glazed meats, and pairs especially well with olive oil when cooking, or tahini and yogurt for dips.
a sprinkle of sumac and a few drops of pomegranate molasses can turn something simple into something more layered and complete.

salad dressing
ingredients
1 cup lemon juice
½ cup olive oil
2½ tbsp pomegranate molasses
¼ cup ajlouni sumac
1¼ tbsp salt
½ each clove, minced or grated
½ each small shallot, finely minced
pinch black pepper (to taste)
preparation
step 1. prep the aromatics and finely mince or grate they garlic and shallot. you want them very fine so the dressing stays smooth.
step 2. in a bowl, whisk together your lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, salt, sumac, minced garlic and shallot, and the pinch of black pepper. let this sit for 2 - 3 minutes for the sumac to bloom and hydrate.
step 3. now emulsify your mixture by slowly whisking in the extra virgin olive oil. whisk steadily until emulsified. the texture should be loose but cohesive, and slightly pulpy from the sumac and shallot.
step 4. this dressing is intentionally bold, so adjust as needed:
- more olive oil for a rounder dressing
- more lemon for a sharper dressing
- more pomegranate for a deeper dressing
we source all of our spices from jordan and india. we’re committed to using spices that are grown in their native lands to best preserve their true flavors that are dependent on the soil and climates they’re grown in.
how are your spices processed?
we get our spices raw and whole. we then roast, grind, and mix them in-house, so you don’t get a spice mix that has been sitting in a warehouse and then on a shelf for months before it gets to your kitchen.
how do i store spices?
our spice jars are pretty airtight and meant for retaining freshness. we would recommend keeping the jars in your pantry and away from direct sunlight to preserve shelf life.
how long are spices good for?
when spices “expire”, thankfully, there isn’t a health risk if they’re consumed. spices expiring means they have lost their flavor and potency. it’s said that spice blends can retain most of their flavor for up to 2 years, but for maximum freshness and potency, we recommend consuming our ground spices within six months.
