Maknoon: Palestinian Mini Set with Gift Box

Some gifts need no explanation. This one arrives with everything already in place: a 100 ml bottle of cold-pressed Palestinian extra virgin olive oil, 120 g of authentic Palestinian za’atar, and a handcrafted olive wood bowl made for the moment when you set it all on the table with fresh bread and let people help themselves.

It is a simple combination, but one with centuries of tradition behind it. In Levantine households, olive oil and za’atar together with bread is not a starter or a side dish. It is a ritual. This set brings that ritual into a single, beautifully packaged box.

What’s inside

Palestinian extra virgin olive oil (100 ml) – Cold-pressed using only mechanical methods, this oil is pure, smooth, and fruity. Produced in Palestine, it carries the character of one of the oldest olive-growing regions in the world.

Palestinian za’atar (120 g) – A blend of thyme, sesame seeds, sumac, and salt. Herbal, tangy, and toasted all at once. A staple in Levantine kitchens and one of those flavors that is immediately familiar to anyone who grew up eating it, and immediately addictive to anyone trying it for the first time.

Handcrafted olive wood bowl – Made from olive wood, small and practical, ideal for mixing oil and za’atar directly at the table or for serving small portions with a natural warmth that no ceramic or plastic bowl can replicate.

How to use it

Pour the olive oil into the wooden bowl, add za’atar, and dip warm Arabic bread. That is the starting point. From there, sprinkle za’atar over manakeesh, labneh, rice, or grilled meats. Use the oil as a dressing for salads or roasted vegetables. Add za’atar to lentil soup, fatayer, or a breakfast spread with avocado, hummus, and soft cheese. The set works across every meal of the day.

As a gift

The set comes packaged in a gift box, ready to present without any additional wrapping needed. It works for personal occasions and corporate gifting equally well, particularly for recipients who appreciate food that comes with real provenance and a story behind it. All ingredients are halal and sourced directly from Palestine.
