From the sun-soaked hills of northern Israel comes a fruit spread that feels more like a family heirloom than a pantry item. Aunt Berta’s 100% Fruit Blueberry Spread is made with pure, slow-cooked fruit – nothing added, nothing taken away. Just real ingredients, drawn from the land and preserved with quiet pride.
Each jar tells the story of Berta herself, a woman who settled near the Mediterranean coast in 1963 and spent a lifetime preserving the recipes passed down through her family. She made her jams the old way – with handwritten instructions, long-simmered fruit, and ingredients selected with intention. That same legacy lives on today in Zikhron Ya’akov, where her family still produces this spread in small batches, using the same principles that guided her hand.
The sweetness comes from nature, not sugar: ripe blueberries blended with juices from pineapple, apple, and pear. A touch of lemon adds brightness, and natural pectin gives it body. The result is rich, tangy, and deeply flavorful – perfect on warm toast, spooned into yogurt, or layered between cake.
This is not a spread that races to market. It’s the opposite. It’s deliberate, thoughtful, and rooted in a land that has always known the value of good fruit and honest food.
“A land of wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.”
— Deuteronomy 8:8
What you’re tasting is part of that land – and by tasting it, you become part of its story. From the hills of Israel to your table, this is what tradition is all about.

Aunt Berta 100% Fruit Blueberry Spread
Aunt Bertha’s factory is located southern end of the Carmel ridge between the hills of Zichron Yaacov, where it was established fifty years ago. When Berta started her business, it was with recipes from her European family. Berta took advantage of the many fresh, delicious fruits that grew close to her home, and she hasn’t looked back.
Today the team at Aunt Berta still prepares their delicious products according to the recipes created by Berta. They never use artificial colors, preservatives, or chemicals, rather relying on old-fashioned techniques and the bounty from the fields of Israel
