Roldan Hanukkah 2020 Donuts (Dave Shachar)

You'll have to believe us when we say it's not an easy job, not an easy one at all.

To experience all the new products coming to the Israeli market, to taste before everyone else, deliveries and more deliveries, paper bags that accumulate in the office (and at home), a constant feeling of satiety.

Seriously, it's harder than it looks, and no one pays you for the gym, or compensates you for the rapidly evolving sense of FOMO in the mind.

All the recipes, tips, shortcuts and patents for Hanukkah are perfect

however, a “new on the shelf” section, with its tasters, curiosities and loyal consumers, has hit the road again.

And this time: half a meter long chocolate, a wine that will close this damn year, an excellent burger, a stone that is not exactly a stone and also a coconut-tahini spread.

Yes, we are very eclectic.

enjoy your meal!

How the hell did they manage to do that?

Hanukkah products, kinder

Kinder Hanukkah products

The chocolate and candy company is attacking Hanukkah with a menorah-shaped kinder, a half-meter-long kinder, a surprise maxi egg, a happy Hippo hazelnut kinder and also an activity complex for the whole family at the Kinder website.

Well, to tell you that our taste buds have spotted something new here?

No.

To tell you that the eyes of the children who were in the area when this shipment arrived did not open to the maximum?

No.

Kinder continues to hit all her drums, packing, switching and wishing a happy holiday.

Sometimes that's all it takes.

White Pearls, Tavor Winery

The most anticipated civil year opening celebrations in history spawned the launch of "White Pearls", a white wine from Tavor Winery, produced from 100% Canali Muscat grapes.

According to the description, the wine is sparkling, sweet, refreshing, and holds a new, young and festive design.

We do not know much design and did not really understand what is "young" here, but can say that the other promises were fulfilled almost in full.

The wine is relatively delicate, with a refined bubbly, and has a light taste of a bad year that ends.

At this point in 2020, that's enough for us.

Sesame and coconut spread, fraternity

Achva's series of sweet sesame spreads is strengthened with a (vegan) sesame and coconut spread, containing coconut (32%) and raw tahini (27%), without palm fat, soy or food coloring, and with relatively little sodium.

The local halva giant read the consumer demand for slightly healthier spreads, and provided a successful jar.

The texture is soft and does the job on a slice of challah or just with a spoon, the taste is sweet though, but not in a loud shelling, and the after-taste leaves some coconut and some tahini on the tongue.

Meat and spices, the sunflower chain and chef Tomer Thomas

The sunflower chain with dozens of branches and chef Tomer Thomas with hundreds of thousands of followers are launching a successful collaboration that includes meats and spices.

The meat series includes lamb chops, Mercedes steak, veal asado, excellent Israeli schnitzel in relation to the genre and excellent on its own, heart skewers, wings, spicy chicken skewers and an asado burger that jumped very quickly from the pan to the bun.

The spice series includes, among other things, smoky-flavored paprika, ras al-shop, a grill mixture, chuma pepper, a mixture for making patties and a Moroccan-style seasoning mixture.

For vegan stone, used

Rarely is food defined as a "substitute" for something succeeding in being better than the real thing.

Milk-free cheese substitutes intended for the vegan and lactose-sensitive public are no different.

Within the "cheese substitute" niche there are two schools, one natural which is mostly based on nuts.

This niche has quite a few recommended (and even healthy) spreads but naturally they are also expensive, probably in relation to dairy cheeses, as they use higher quality raw materials.

And there is also the second school, the vegan spreads that just try to track down some cheese flavor, when all means are kosher on the way to the goal.

Rarely will an industrialized product consisting of solid fats and processed starches succeed in achieving the original taste of the cheese it is trying to mimic, but there are cases where the product stands on its own.

The Israeli company "Used" stands out well within the second school, when alongside attempts to reach a "taste of cheese" it does not explode its components with sugars, fats and preservatives, and also at a reasonable price.

To their existing range of spreads (25%, 9% cheese, with olives and garlic dill) was recently added a "vegan stone" that greets us with a color package reminiscent of olive oil (although the product does not contain olive oil), and with two red stickers warning against saturated fat 9%) and the high sodium in the package.

Those who have made the transition to veganism for health reasons will probably give up the experience, but the rest will find here a salty spread with a semi-hard texture based on coconut, without soy or trans fat, and with a respectable dose of calcium that will not embarrass any animal cheese.

And the taste?

As long as you do not try to compare the spread to the cheese he is trying to imitate, it is great.

It's not Labna's texture, it's not Lavne's taste, it does not even look like Labna's - but we can not say that we did not eliminate a package within one dinner, including enthusiasm on the part of the picky girls.

You can of course enhance the cheese with a little olive oil and hyssop, but it is surprisingly good as it is.
