🌶 Zahavi HaKerem – A Legacy in Every Jar

From the open fields of a kibbutz in Israel to the bustling flavors of New York, Zahavi HaKerem brings you the bold, authentic taste of traditional Yemeni zhug — crafted from fresh red chilies, garlic, coriander, and the unforgettable Zahavi spice blend. This journey began over 40 years ago, when Boaz Zahavi, a young immigrant from Yemen, recreated the fiery red sauce from his childhood memories. What started as a personal connection to heritage became a culinary mission: to bring the vibrant heat and aroma of real zhug into every home.

Each jar tells the story of resilience, passion, and flavor — a tribute to the man whose face still graces every label. Boaz, who sadly passed away in 2023, believed that true zhug is a harmony of garlic, chili, and tradition — one that stirs the senses and stirs the soul. Today, his family continues that legacy with a rich line of original, green, smoked, garlicky, and herb-infused zhug spreads made for food lovers everywhere.

Welcome to Zahavi HaKerem. Taste the heat. Feel the story.
