Michal Mor Melamed, the dairy’s cheese-maker, is a veteran speech and language therapist who stumbled across the world of cheese by chance.
In 2005 Michal went on a paragliding vacation in Switzerland’s Bernese Alps. The weather was not welcoming so she traveled the area, saw how hard-cheese is made in the Swiss mountains – and fell in love.
Upon Michal’s return to Israel, she took to studying the field of cheese and milk at Ruppin Technological College, worked for several local dairy farms and even traveled to Switzerland to study the making of hard cheese in traditional dairies.
That is how the dream of opening her own dairy was born. She moved to the Galilee, settled in Kfar Kisch, opened her dairy and later, the dairy’s store.
Today Michal is an honorary member of the global cheese guild, making medal-winning cheeses that represented Israel at the World Championship Cheese Contest.
Nowadays, the dairy farm is located at Lotem, and the House of Cheese was built next to it, inviting visitors to an experience of artisanal cheese.
Watch the making and ripening process of different cheeses, hear stories and watch a video about the dairy, participate in events and workshops and enjoy the dairy’s cheese and quality Galilean goods.
The dairy farm’s cheeses are Kosher – under the Supervision of Misgav Regional Council – Rabbi Uziel Eliyahu.
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.
