The Flora Flourishing Cheese Visitor Center on Kibbutz Lotem is open to the public Wednesdays to Fridays and offers a spectacular view of the Galilee, and a tight menu based solely on cheeses produced in the adjacent space, alongside carefully selected wines.
It is possible to create a structured menu for groups by prior arrangement.
Flora, an artisanal dairy, specializes in producing cheeses from sheep and goat milk, and hosts with a contemporary gastronomic perspective.
Michal Benishti, a gastronome with a master’s degree in gastronomic sciences from Italy and a former Strauss gastronome, fulfilled her dream and established the “Flora Flourishing Cheese” Dairy in a dreamy corner of the Galilee. Together with the cheesemaker Azi Miterni, they run a dairy that fulfills the philosophical path she has adopted ― good, clean and fair food that combines quality, taste, and sustainability values.
Western Galilee Now is a registered non-profit grassroots organization (NGO) promoting awareness and appreciation for the region’s boutique wines, beers, food and produce, along with its cultural diversity, its historic traditions and the area’s scenic routes nestled between the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea acting as a Chamber of Commerce to boutique tourism operators in the region.
We expose the visitors to the unique heritage and hospitality through workshops, culinary events, art, music, guides tours, festivals and also through our Tourist Information Center in Akko, owned by JNF USA which we were chosen to operate since Jan. 2016.
Our vision is to develop local and foreign tourism based on close cooperation between all the interested parties in the region.
