This lush fig jam embodies the spirit of Israel’s northern border, where the cliffs of Rosh HaNikra meet rolling orchards and fields of wild herbs. It’s in this landscape – tranquil, exposed, and rich with character – that the founders of Zuta craft their small batch creations. Their kitchen sits just minutes from the orchards that supply their fruit, so every jar begins close to the very soil that gives it flavor.

Slow cooked in small batches, the jam captures the way figs ripen under the Mediterranean sun: rich, velvety, and naturally sweet. Into this they fold white savory hyssop, a local herb that has scented the northern hillsides for generations. Its herbal lift feels almost ancient, adding a note that speaks for the land itself — of the wind that sweeps across the borderlands and the farmers who tend their fields with steadfast care.

The jam’s warmth reflects the people behind it. Avichai Pahima and Idan Rakir founded Zuta with a commitment to preserving the tastes of their region without preservatives, shortcuts, or anything that masks the qualities of fresh Israeli produce. They work with growers they know by name and transform the figs at their peak into a unique blend that feels comforting and familiar.

Spread it over soft cheese, fold it into pastries, or drizzle it on warm bread. Each spoonful offers a moment of connection to the orchards of the Galilee, to the artisans who coax flavor from simplicity, and to the families building their lives along Israel’s northern edge with resilience and hope.

“And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree.” — 1 Kings 4:25
