As a small pastry shop in Jerusalem, Zalatimo Sweets Company came to this world. Our journey started over a century ago, namely in Palestine in 1860. It all began with the “Mutabak” – a popular Arabian pastry. Mohammad Zalatimo had decided then to set up a small pastry shop in the old city of Jerusalem. The operation was kept on a small scale where Mutabak was offered as a take-away product for breakfast, in addition to a few specialty sweets that he made daily. Year after year, this one-man show proved to be very successful; he rented an adjacent shop and offered a seating area of the customers to enjoy his freshly made sweets.
