The Um Zayed Story — Heritage Flavours from UAE Kitchens
Share
Every jar of Um Zayed tells a story. A story of kitchens where recipes were never written down — they were passed from hand to hand, taste to taste, generation to generation. A story of the Gulf table: generous, abundant, and rooted in tradition.
Where It Began
Um Zayed was born from a simple truth: the best food comes from people who cook with love and knowledge, not from factories that cook with efficiency. The kitchens of the UAE have always produced extraordinary condiments — pickles packed with flavour, sauces that transform a plate of rice into a feast, spice blends perfected over decades.
Um Zayed exists to bring those flavours to every home.
What We Make
Today, Um Zayed offers over 100 handcrafted products across six categories: Sauces (including the legendary Mahyawa range), Pickles (29 hand-brined varieties), Liquid Pickles, Spices (25 authentic Gulf blends), Ceylon Teas, and Pantry Essentials including ghee, vinegar, and ready mixes.
Our Promise
Every Um Zayed product is made in small batches with no artificial preservatives. Real ingredients. Real recipes. The flavour of a kitchen that has been doing this for generations.
We deliver across all Emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, and Umm Al Quwain.
