I had read about Ein Kamonim in my wonderful cookbook but had no idea how to find it – the cookbook’s biggest flaw: no list of things mentioned and their corresponding addresses, phone numbers and/or websites, a major disservice. Thankfully you have the Shiksa as your guide.
Ein Kamonim (off Hwy 85) is run by the Ovrutski family. They make cheese and olive oil and have a restaurant (how does all-you-can-eat cheese, salad, and bread sound?). They also run workshops and will conduct group tours by appointment. Call: 04-698-9894
Ein Kamonim transliterates themselves as Ein Camonim (that's their web site). So why am I stuck on the "K"? I guess it's because that's how I first read the name.
Most popular cheese: Tal HaGalil. it's a hard cheese matured in bay leaves. Ask the cleaning people at the David Intercontinental how they like it (we left some in our mini fridge).
