At the edge of Israel’s northern coastline, Cacao HaGalil stands among the country’s pioneering boutique chocolate makers. The workshop was founded by Chanie Koenig, who left New York to build a life and a dream in Israel’s Galilee. From her boutique in Kibbutz Evron near Nahariya, she handcrafts chocolates that reflect the land, its people, and its enduring spirit.

Every creation begins with premium cocoa butter and fresh local milk, tempered slowly by hand to achieve a velvety, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Chanie molds, cools, and wraps each bar individually, ensuring that no detail is left to chance. Her mission is simple yet profound: to restore honest, hands-on artistry to Israeli chocolate-making, one exquisite bar at a time.

For Lev Haolam subscribers, tasting Cacao HaGalil’s chocolate is more than indulgence — it is a moment of connection to the creativity and resilience of northern Israel. In every bite, there is the taste of the Galilee, the strength of its people, and the warmth of a woman who turned her dream into a gift she now shares with the world.
