What to see and do Aunt Berta’s | A unique little shop Aunt Berta’s story begins in 1963, when the Beit-El community, Christian Zionists desiring to settle beside the Jews in the Holy Land, settled in Israel. The community established itself in Zichron Ya’akov, where it founded a factory that produces air filtration systems, notably for operating rooms. One of its other ventures has been the Carmel brand, which notably manages the Aunt Berta shop, a charming little shop situated right beside factory, that sells 100% natural jams and compotes, made using a special manufacturing process that maintains the taste and nutritional value of the fruit. Same goes for the salad dressings, sauces and condiments, also on sale here. Aunt Berta’s also has its own bakery that produces typical European baked goods such as pretzels, Linzer tortes, sourdough breads, etc., and in the visitors’ center next-door, you can hear all about the the community’s establishment and development in Zichron Ya’akov. This shop is a lovely spot, that’s impossible to leave empty-handed. aunt-berta.co.il @aunt_berta1963
