Our Story

Rooted in Heritage.
Made for Your Table.

Um Zayed was born from the kitchens of the UAE — from the handed-down jars, the spice tins worn smooth with use, and the meals that brought families to the table. Our name honours the tradition of the Emirati home cook: patient, generous, and deeply proud of flavour.

Every product we make follows a recipe that existed long before modern food production. Our pickles are brined the traditional way. Our sauces are made in small batches, never rushed. Our spice blends are ground and mixed by hand to proportions passed down through generations of Gulf cooking.

What We Make

• Sauces — bold, tangy, and full of character. Over a dozen handcrafted varieties from chilli flakes to garlic-herb blends, each ready to go straight to the table.
• Pickles — made the traditional way, from mango and lemon to rare Naisar pickles that take months to develop their depth.
• Liquid Pickles — a uniquely Gulf tradition. Rich, spiced brines that you pour over, dip into, or stir directly into your cooking.
• Spices & Masalas — hand-blended for Gulf and South Asian cooking. Biriyani, Mandhi, Kabsa, Tandoori and more.

Our Promise

Everything we make is free of artificial preservatives and flavour enhancers. We use quality ingredients chosen for their authenticity — not their shelf life. When you open a jar of Um Zayed, you taste food made the way it always was.

We ship across the UAE — fresh to your door, ready to serve alongside the meals you love.

“Every jar carries the warmth of heritage — served alongside the meals you love.”
