- Saudi Arabia’s Culinary Regions: A Journey of Flavors
Saudi Cuisine is as Diverse as the Landscapes of the Kingdom. Each Region tells its Story through Ingredients, Techniques, and Traditions passed down Through Generations. In the Western Region, Centuries of Trade and Pilgrimage Routes have shaped a Cuisine Rich in Spices and Global Influences — seen in Dishes like Saleeq, Sambusak, and Mutabbaq. The Central Region is known for Hearty Fare such as Jareesh and Hininy, using Wheat, Dates, and Clarified Butter to create Deeply Comforting Dishes.

The Eastern Coast embraces Seafood, Rice, and Tamarind, while the Southern Regions like Asir and Jazan showcase Highland Produce, Tropical Flavors, and Dishes cooked on Hot Stones or in Underground Ovens.This regional diversity reflects Saudi Arabia’s history of exchange, climate diversity, and social customs. More than food, it is a culinary map of the nation’s identity — and an invitation for others to explore its traditions through taste.

Saudi Coffee, or Qahwa, is a Deeply Symbolic Part of Social and Cultural Life. Lightly Roasted and Spiced with Cardamom, Cloves, and sometimes Saffron, it’s served in Small Cups and poured from the Elegant Dallah—the Traditional Coffee Pot.The Act of serving Saudi Coffee is a Ritual of Respect and Welcome. It marks everything from Casual Gatherings to Major Celebrations, and is always accompanied by Dates. The Person pouring the Coffee often stands, refilling Cups in silence as a Sign of Humility and Service. Recognized by UNESCO as Part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Saudi coffee is a Living Tradition, passed down with Care. Today, it continues to thrive — not only in Homes, but also in Cafés, Creative Menus, and Cultural Storytelling.

- PDO Feta Cheese is the Greek Cheese traditionally made from Sheep’s Milk or a Mixture of Sheep’s and Goat’s Milk. It is matured in Wooden Barrels or Tin Cans for at least Two Months, and it is known for its Unique Taste and Buttery Texture.

Feta Cheese has been registered as Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and is produced exclusively in Specific Areas of Greece. This ensures the Quality, Originality, and Tradition of PDO Feta Cheese. Apart from its Traditional Consumption in the Greek Salad and Pies, Feta Cheese has been included in many Modern Recipes. Its Salty-Sour Taste adds Depth to both Sweet and Savory Dishes and gives generously a Perfect Creamy Texture and a Mediterranean Touch to Every Recipe.
