In northern Israel, pecan orchards stretch through long, sunlit seasons, and the harvest moves directly from the trees into kitchens that work with it in its natural form. This spread comes from that process, using locally grown pecans and shaping them into something that can sit open on the table and be used throughout the day.
The texture is thick and smooth, holding its shape on a spoon and spreading evenly across bread or crackers. Once opened, the aroma carries the depth of ground pecans with a soft cocoa presence layered through it.
The flavor begins with the pecan itself—full, rounded, and present—followed by cocoa that adds depth without overtaking the nut. The balance remains clear from start to finish, allowing each element to stay defined.
Pecan HaTzafon grows its pecans in northern Israel and processes them close to the source, working from orchard through production. This spread reflects that direct line, using a high percentage of pecans and keeping the preparation focused on the character of the nut.
It can be spread over bread, paired with crackers, added to granola, or eaten by the spoonful. It sits easily alongside other foods and holds its place as something you return to more than once.
From the orchards of northern Israel, this spread places the pecan in its most usable form, ready to be opened and served.

Pecolate – Pecan Chocolate Spread (Northern Israel)
Pecan HaTzafon, led by Benny Israeli, is located in Beit Hillel, a small farming community in the Upper Galilee. The region is known for its fertile land, where generations of farmers have cultivated orchards and fields. Benny grew up surrounded by agriculture, learning from his family how to care for the land and produce high-quality crops.
The farm specializes in growing and processing pecans, focusing on sustainable and environmentally responsible methods. The trees are nurtured using minimal intervention, allowing the soil and climate of the Galilee to shape the flavors naturally. Harvesting is done with care, ensuring that only the best pecans are selected for roasting and flavoring.
Benny’s work is a continuation of a long tradition of farming in the Galilee, where agriculture has been a way of life since ancient times. His pecans reflect the balance of tradition and innovation, providing a product that is both rooted in the past and made for the present.
