Aunt Berta's range of all-natural jams, jellies, pastas and chocolates are the brainchild of the folks at Kibbutz Beth-El, also known as Carmel Farms, a self-sustaining German community that migrated to Israel a century ago. The farm has a view of Mt. Carmel and 96-year-old Aunt Berta still resides there. But today, Aunt Berta's little kitchen has been transformed into a family-sized state-of-the-art facility creating a range of interesting flavors: Apple & Cinnamon Preserves, Pomegranate Jelly, Kiwi & Mango Preserves, and they've also recently introduced another sweet side with a range of pralines that are so perfect, even my non-sweet-toothed compatriot begged for more. Plus new pastas and handmade crackers. Produced by BE Food Ltd. and imported by Atalanta; call 908-351-8000 or e-mail food@beindustries.com for pricing and more information.
