OUR STORY
It All Started in Aunt Berta's Kitchen
Our dear Aunt Berta had been making jams and preserves in the family kitchen all of her life. She proudly protected her handwritten recipes and kept the old family traditions alive. In 1963 together with a small community of Israel enthusiasts and supporters she left Europe, moved to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and finally settled in the foothills of the Galilee mountains, Israel. This is where Aunt Berta’s natural talent developed into a small community business.
Many Surprises Awaited Aunt Berta In Her New Galilee Home
She encountered new and totally unfamiliar local fruits: fig, pomegranate, mango and date. Although there was no mention of these fruity delights in her traditional European cookbooks, Aunt Berta, excited by the challenge, resumed what she did best in the world – making her beloved homemade jams. Initially, she made these jams for her small community, but as rumour of her scrumptious treats quickly spread, the business took off. From then on, we have continued to make Aunt Berta’s jams, and have grown from a small family business into a large, community-owned enterprise.
