Schwartzman Dairy and Farm: A Taste of History and Authentic Craftsmanship

Dining travel guide

Address: Old Bat Shlomo Colony, Shwartzman Farm,

Phone: 04-6396107

About 120 years ago, Zelig Schwartzman settled in the new Bat Shlomo community and built his home. His family went on to establish the renowned Schwartzman Dairy 20 years later, and has been crafting goat, sheep, and beef cheeses with love and dedication ever since. The family has kept the secrets of their boutique cheese production and preparation for four generations.

Bat Shlomo is a small community located in the northern region of Israel, nestled between the Carmel Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The area is known for its breathtaking views, picturesque landscapes, and historical significance.

Experience a bygone heritage and way of life while savoring an unforgettable culinary adventure in the family’s yard. The ancient stone structure, standing in the courtyard for over a century, transports visitors to another time. The building serves as both a private museum and a restaurant, showcasing representative objects, tools, photos, and documents documenting the farm’s past and the settlement’s founding. You can admire the agricultural equipment and various machines used in the dairy’s early days. The treasures of the past testify to the site’s rich history.

Savor the variety of flavors offered at the dairy, including fine cheeses made from goat, sheep, and cow milk, ranging from soft to hard and aged to ripe. Enjoy olives harvested with care from Bat Shlomo’s orchards and grown at the foot of Mount Horshan. The olives are known for their exceptional taste and are used to produce pure olive oil. The family also produces amber-colored natural honey collected from beehives working diligently to collect nectar from the flowers of Nahal Dalia and the surrounding area. You can try the date honey (Silan), carob honey, honeysuckle honey, and more, all mixed in-house without mass production. Each bite is a journey through the region’s flavors and aromas of the past.

Don’t miss out on the menu’s specialties, including green and black olives served at the entrance and the mouth-watering cheese slits prepared with love and pride by Ziv Schwartzman behind the counter. Come for a visit and taste history blended with contemporary produce, seasoned with the aromas of the past, and crafted with real craftsmanship.

The Schwartzman Dairy and Farm’s unique taste lies in the authenticity preserved since the dairy’s establishment, which is still practiced today. Ziv, the third generation, and his fourth-generation daughters refuse to switch to modern methods, inheriting and preserving the cheese-making secrets and traditions of raising cattle, sheep, and producing cheese passed down from Zelig’s grandfather and Ziv Shimon’s father. Each cow, goat, and sheep is treated with individual care, receiving personal attention and manual milking methods. The dairy’s products are processed with endless dedication and love, resulting in high-quality milk and cheese.

Come for a visit and combine it with a full meal at the cheese restaurant located in the farm’s courtyard. Savor an abundance of flavors, including stuffed and special spreads, and finish with coffee and sweet desserts. Visitors can also purchase the best of the farm’s produce at the on-site shop, taking home the flavors worth savoring. Experience a taste of the past and quality craftsmanship in a beautiful scenery.

Toto Restaurant Tel Aviv: A Delicious Transformation with Unchanged Favorites

Toto Restaurant Tel Aviv: A Delicious Transformation with Unchanged Favorites

Toto Restaurant in Tel Aviv may have undergone a massive change in terms of its design, but it still manages to serve up the same great food that has made it a favorite among its loyal customers. The menu features five different categories, including cold dishes, pizza, pasta, seafood, and steakhouse, as well as a separate menu of special dishes. One of the standout items on the menu is the spicy pizza and chestnut gnocchi, both of which have become flagship dishes for Toto. Other highlights include the whole eggplant roasted over an open fire, beef tartare, and thinly sliced smoked Spanish tuna from the cold dishes section. The pizza section features a variety of mouth-watering options, including a white pizza with wild mushrooms and bacon and a salami pizza with black olives and purple onions. In the pasta section, the potato and ricotta gnocchi with salted butter, chestnuts, and Parmesan is a must-try. Seafood lovers will enjoy the fried sea fish with vinaigrettes, grilled sea bass, and charcoal-grilled locust kebab. Meat lovers can indulge in beef fillet and foie gras with veal stock and morel mushrooms or choose from a selection of steaks on the bone. Although the menu has remained largely unchanged to preserve many of the restaurant's favorite dishes, the restaurant itself has undergone a major transformation. The bar has been repositioned, and the kitchen is now open and impressively large. The new design is invested, prestigious, and impressive, making for a great dining experience. Toto has had its ups and downs over the years, including the firing of founder Yaron Shalu in 2014 and a short-lived connection with chef Moshik Roth. However, Shalu persevered and found new buyers who bought the restaurant back for him, allowing him to return to his baby and close the circle in an emotional way. Overall, Toto Restaurant Tel Aviv is still a great spot for delicious food and a new, impressive atmosphere.

Rashel: A Memorable Moroccan Fusion Dining Experience in Tel Aviv

Rashel: A Memorable Moroccan Fusion Dining Experience in Tel Aviv

As an American tourist visiting Tel Aviv, I had the pleasure of dining at Rashel, a Moroccan restaurant and lounge bar located in the port of Tel Aviv. The restaurant offers a Mediterranean fusion menu and is strictly kosher. From the moment I stepped inside, I was immediately transported to another world. The restaurant's decor was beautiful, with bright colors and intricate patterns, and the atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The menu at Rashel was extensive and offered a variety of dishes that blended traditional Moroccan flavors with modern Mediterranean cuisine. The chef clearly takes pride in using the best and freshest ingredients available, and it showed in the taste and presentation of each dish. I started with the kitchen jam and carpaccio, which were both delicious and full of flavor. For my main course, I tried the grilled sea bass and was blown away by the delicate and perfectly cooked fish, which was accompanied by a flavorful side of beets. The dessert menu at Rashel was equally impressive, and I indulged in the millefeuille Louisa and lemon, which was a perfect ending to my meal. Overall, my experience at Rashel was exceptional. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the service was attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend Rashel to anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience in Tel Aviv.
