As a small pastry shop in Jerusalem, Zalatimo Sweets came to this world. Their 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 for the customers to enjoy his freshly made sweets.
