A small venture in the Galilee has earned recognition as one of the world’s finest caviar producers. Everything you didn’t know about caviar and its roots in the Holy Land. We tasted it — and the magic worked.

Yigal Ben-Zvi of Kibbutz Dan is the most socialist entrepreneur at the far edge of the capitalist world. After waiting many years for the first roe, he became a major concern for the fishermen of the Caspian Sea. From now on, there is caviar — made in Israel.

Chef Yuval Ben Neriah’s restaurant a, Raziel boutique winery and “KARAT Caviar” — the caviar farm near Kibbutz Dan — will host three evenings celebrating local produce and the people behind it.

How Kibbutz Dan became Israel’s first producer of premium caviar — and why the kibbutz members do not get to taste it in the dining hall. A fish story.

Israeli caviar is considered among the finest in the world, and its price can reach $9,000 per kilogram. Until recently, it was sold exclusively abroad, but now it can be tasted here as well — offering, for a moment, a glimpse of another world.
