Gourmet BaGalil
Business of the Month: Gourmet BaGalil
In the heart of the picturesque western Galilee town of Maalot Tarshicha, a culinary gem named Gourmet BaGalil has emerged, offering a unique blend of healthy, high-quality cooking and personalized chef services. Founded in September 2023 by entrepreneur Rita Ackert, Gourmet BaGalil has quickly become a haven for those seeking healthy, wholesome seasonal food.
At 62, Rita Ackert transitioned from a career in the food and jewelry industries to embark on a new adventure – the creation of Gourmet BaGalil. Rita's passion for food and her desire to bring something exceptional to her community gave birth to this culinary haven.
For Ackert, Gourmet BaGalil is not just a business; it's a passion project and a practical need. As a widow with a child at home and a grandmother residing in Maalot Tarshicha, Ackert recognized the need for flexibility in running one's business. The tranquil and family-oriented ambiance of northern Israel, where she has resided since 2011, serves as the backdrop for her culinary endeavors.
Gourmet BaGalil goes beyond the conventional catering experience. While Ackert prepares food ready for Sabbat on Fridays, it's not about mass-produced, ready-made dishes. Ackert keeps the highest Kosher standards, ensuring everyone can enjoy these culinary experiences.
The mission of Gourmet BaGalil is clear. Ackert works hard to offer a dynamic menu that evolves weekly, introducing seasonal flavors and providing culinary adventures that showcase the richness of Jewish and Israeli cuisine.
Ackert's culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in Israeli produce's diverse and seasonal nature. Just as in fashion, she believes in starting with culinary basics and accentuating them with "accessories." Ackert's love for spices and flavor profiles is a tribute to the global Jewish community, where immigrants bring their favorite flavors from around the world.
Gourmet BaGalil is a melting pot of tastes, celebrating the diverse backgrounds of those who have chosen to make Israel their home. Ackert's commitment to using less oil and prioritizing high-quality olive oil reflects her dedication to healthy cooking. She emphasizes whole foods, eschewing processed ingredients and relying on spices and herbs for a burst of flavor without excessive salt.
Gourmet BaGalil is not just about offering a menu; it's about meeting the unique needs of its clients. Ackert welcomes special dietary requests, catering to vegans, vegetarians, and those with specific low salt or sugar preferences. Her use of Silan (date honey) and maple syrup adds a unique touch to her creations, contributing to the overall health-conscious and interesting menu.
Ackert's fresh soups have become a sensation among her clients. Packed with seasonal and fresh produce, these soups have gained fame, prompting Ackert to introduce a novel concept – the soup kit. Clients can get soups with different accompaniments, such as toasted seeds, crispy tortilla strips, pesto... Anything they can add in for an extra burst of flavor.
As Rita Ackert invites you to join her on the journey to redefine fresh food for Shabbat and holidays, Gourmet BaGalil stands as a testament to the fusion of passion, diversity, and a commitment to wholesome, flavorful cooking. Step into Gourmet BaGalil and experience the culinary magic that transcends the ordinary, offering a taste of something extraordinary.
