Founded in 1882 by Edmond James de Rothschild, its products areexported to over 40 countries Overview CarmelWinery manufactures mainly wine, brandyand grape juice. It is the primeproducer of wine in Israel, as it produces nearly half of the Israeli winemarket, and one of the largest wine producers in the Eastern Mediterranean. It is the first andoldest exporter of wine, brandy and grape juice in the country, and also thelargest producer of kosher wine in the world. Thecompany is owned by the council of the Vine-growers Union (75%) and the Jewish Agency for Israel (25%). Its parentcompany is Societe Cooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves Richon Le Zion& Zikhron Ya\'akov Ltd. (S.C.V.) The company holds the two largest wineriesin Israel, as well as three new boutique wineries. These wineries includeRishon LeZion Winery, Zikhron Ya\'akov Winery, Yatir Winery (50%) and RamatDalton Winery. In addition, the company owns 1,500 hectares (3,750 acres) ofvineyards in Israel. Carmel\'s production reaches 25-30 million bottles per yearand its profit from export adds up to USD 5 million from 40 countries. History When the settlers of the First Aliyah, Jews who immigratedto Palestine from Eastern Europe in the second half ofthe 19th century, encountered difficulties in cultivating the land due to theirlack of experience and the soil\'s characteristics, they began to seek supportoutside of Palestine for establishing vineyards and wineries. Theirrepresentatives traveled to France, where they met Baron Edmond de Rothschild,owner of ChâteauLafite.As a Zionist, Rothschild provided financial and moral assistance to thesettlers. His first vineyards were planted near Rishon LeZion, south east of Jaffa. In 1882, French rootstock wasimported, and the Baron sent his own wine specialists to advise the pioneers inthis enterprise. Construction began on a large wine cellar in Rishon LeZion.Later, a second winery was established in Zikhron Ya\'akov, situated on Mount Carmejust south of Haifa. In 1895 Carmel Wine Co. was formed to export wines ofRishon LeZion and Zikhron Ya\'akov, first in Poland, then in Austria, GreatBritain and the United States. In 1902 Carmel Mizrahi was founded in Palestineto market and distribute wines to the cities of the Ottoman Empire. In 1896, the firstCarmel wines were presented at the International Exhibition of Berlin at aspecial pavilion devoted to the industries of the Jewish colony in Palestine.Over a hundred thousand people visited the exhibition, looked at the products,and drank a glass of Rishon LeZion wine. A year later, a world gardeningexhibition was held in Hamburg where the settlers\' wines were well received.Rishon LeZion wines won a gold medal at the Paris World\'s Fair in 1900. In 1906, both the vineyards and the managementof the two wineries were deeded to the winegrowers, forming the \"SocietéCooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves, Richon le Zion and Zikhron JacobLtd.\" Interestingly, many of Israel\'s historical figures worked in thevineyards and in the wineries. Perhaps the two most famous were the first PrimeMinister of Israel, David BenGurionand his successor, Levi Eshkol Through the earlydecades of the 20th century the wine business bloomed. Branches of Carmel WineCo., were opened in Damascus, Cairo, Beirut,Berlin, London, Warsaw and Alexandria and sales increased,particularly during the First WorldWar, whenallied troops passed through Palestine. However, the businesses fell sharplywhen the war was over. The industry lost its principal markets in Russia due tothe OctoberRevolution,in the United States because of Prohibition,and in Egypt and the Middle East because of Arab nationalism. Many of thevineyards were uprooted and replanted with citrus trees. However, during the Second World War, the industry beganto grow again and with successive waves of immigrants, drinking habitsgradually changed. In 1957, the estate of the Baron Edmond de-Rothschild deededover the two wineries to the Cooperative of Winegrowers, the SocietéCooperative Vigneronne des Grandes Caves, by then, better known under the tradename Carmel Mizrahi in Israel and Carmel worldwide. For some years after theend of the war, Carmel\'s output was focused on sweet wines used for sacramentalpurposes. However, with the emergence of the new world in wine making, Israeliwine makers sought new varieties of grapes, thus in 1971 Cabarnet Sauvignon andSauvignon Blanc, the first varietal wines from Israel, were presented in theUnited States market. In the early 80\'s, the wine industry in Israel fell uponhard times, but in the second half of the decade, wine became more popular anddemands for quality stimulated tremendous improvements in the varieties ofgrapes being grown, the cultivation of new growing regions and the updating offermentation and production techniques. Over the past few years, new state ofthe art wineries have been built, the existing wineries have been renovated anda new team of young, highly qualified wine makers have been employed. Theconstant search for improvement is now part of the fabric of the cooperative.In 2003 Carmel agreed to sponsor \'Carmel Trophy for Best Eastern MediterraneanProducer\' at I.W.S.C. in London. In 2004 Peter Stern (formerly at Mondavi &Gallo) from California was appointed wine making consultant. The same yearCarmel founded \'Handcrafted Wines of Israel\'. Exporting to over 40 countries,Carmel products are found in wine stores and retail chains around the globe. Wineries Carmel\'s first winery and head office isRishon LeZion Winery, which is located in the city of Rishon LeZion. It was built in 1890by Baron Edmond de Rothschild, making it the oldest industrial building inIsrael still in use. The winery is the largest winery in Israel in terms ofproduction of wines, spirits and grape juice. It was the first establishment inIsrael to install electricity and telephone, and David Ben Gurion, Israel\'s first primeminister, worked there. It underwent renovations in the 1990s. Carmel\'s secondwinery is Zikhron Ya\'akov Winery. Located in Zikhron Ya\'akov, it is used forproduction of wine and blending of olive oil. It was built in 1892, also byBaron Edmond de Rothschild. The winery is the largest winery in Israel in termsof grapes received at harvest. It includes a new boutique winery built in 2003and a pilot micro-winery for research and development. Yatir Winery is a small winerybuilt in 2000 with state of the art equipment, which receives grapes only fromits own vineyards. It is situated in Tel Arad, an archaeological site with3,000 years of history, in the northEastern Negev.The winery was a joint venture between Carmel (50%) and Gadash local winegrowers (50%). YatirWinery isnow solely owned by Carmel Winery. Its vineyards are located in Yatir Forest in the southern Judean Hills. Another newly builtwinery is Ramat Dalton, located in Ramat Dalton, Upper Galilee. It was built in2004 and receives its grapes from vineyards in Upper Galilee and Golan Heights.Vineyards Carmel Winery owns numerous vineyardsacross Israel, from the Galilee and the Golan Heights in the North to the Negev in the South. These vineyards includesome of the finest individual vineyard sites in the country. On average, Carmelharvests about 25,000 tonnes of grapes, which is approximately 50% of Israel’stotal harvest. Exported wines will show the growing region on the label. In theGalilee and Golan, which are generally accepted as Israel’s finest wine growingareas due to their higher altitude and cooler climate, Carmel\'s vineyards focuson growing quality grapes. Carmel has vineyards in the central and northernGolan and it is the leading winery presence in the premium Upper Galilee. Thegrapes from the finest vineyards go to Ramat Dalton Winery. The coastal regionsof Sharon and Central CoastalPlain are Israel’s traditional grape growing areas, where Carmel\'s vines wereoriginally planted. In the northern Sharon Plain, Israel\'s largest wine growingregion, benefiting from MountCarmelRange and from breezes off the Mediterranean Sea, Carmel owns extensive areasof vineyards. The main concentration of vineyards is in the valleys surroundingthe winery towns of Zikhron Ya’akov and Binyamina.This is the largest region for Carmel which surrounds the Zikhron Ya’akovWinery. It was announced in early 2008 that a 150-acre (0.61km2)wine park would be created on the slopes between Zikhron Ya\'akov and Binyaminain order to promote tourism in the area and wine tourism in Israel ingeneral.The Central Coastal Plain (known as Dan) and the rolling hills of the JudeanLowlands make up the second coastal region, in which grapes have beentraditionally grown. This is the second largest area for growing vines inIsrael, as it has a coastal Mediterranean climate: hot, humid summers and warm, mild winters.It is a large region for Carmel and it supplies the Rishon LeZion Winery. Inthe Judean Hills, an area proved to yield grapes of high quality due to itswarm days and cool nighttime temperature, Carmel has premium vineyards in YatirForest, the largest forest in Israel. These vineyards, which are up to 900meters above sea level, supply grapes for the boutique Yatir Winery. Carmel isa pioneer in the Negev, a popular area forvine growing in ancient times, with its high quality Ramat Arad vineyardsituated on the north east Negev plateau, 500 meters above sea level with veryhot days and cold nights. Tnuva, or Tenuvah, (Hebrew: תנובה‎, fruit or produce)is a cooperative (co-op) in Israel specializing in milk and dairy products. The 620 members ofthe cooperative are made up a large number of kibbutzim (or collective farms) and moshavim (or agriculturalcommunities) in Israel. Tnuva is the largest dairy products manufacturer inIsrael; its sales account for 70% of the country\'s dairy market as well assales of meat, eggs and packaged food. Tnuva Central Cooperative for theMarketing of Agricultural Produce in Israel Ltd. was created in 1926, followinga decision by kibbutz-movement leaders tomake cooperatives to distribute and export several types of food products.Tnuva was created as a result but at first only delivered regular milk fordrinking. It expanded to cover other dairy products in the 1930s. Tnuva waslabeled by the IsraelAntiTru Authorityas a monopoly a status thatessentially places the company under government regulation limiting the way itcan change the price of its products to protect the consumer and smallercompetitors. In 2006, it was reported that the Markstone Capital Partners Fund was interested inpurchasing Tnuva and its assets for about $750 million. The general manager, Arik Reichman,values the company between $800 million to $1 billion. Another obstacle toselling the company or even a large minority share was the need to convert thecooperative to a company requiring a majority of the members approval. InNovember 20, 2006 ApaxPartnersWorldwide LLP, a London-based buyout firm, won a tender to buy control ofTnuva. The offer values the privately held food and dairy group at $1.025billion, larger than Strauss-Elite Ltd. and Osem Investments Ltd. the twolargest publicly held Israeli food companies. The Tnuva Story Fornearly 80 years, Tnuva has provided consumers in the Holy Land with a widevariety of premium dairy and cheese products that are made with the freshestingredients.

London-based investment firm, Apax Partners,owns 55% of the company; Israeli investment firm, Mivtach Shamir Holdings, owns20About Shemen Industries Ltd The Idea The idea of innovating and founding an industry in Israel was firstraised in the beginning of the previous century by a group of Hovevei Zion fromMinsk, Russia. In 1903, Nahum Wilboshvitz (later known as Wilbosh), whoheaded the group, came to Israel in order to check the possibilities ofindustrial development in the country: searching for energy sources, examiningways of improving and developing the traditional industries, mainly of oil andsoap. Wilbosh proposed to establish a company, which will engage insecondary production of olive oil made of rape once the oil is extracted. Atthe time, the process was performed using wood-pressers. Wilbosh suggestedusing chemical resources such as gasoline. The Foundation On a crowdedland with olive plantations and oil-pressers that sell rape, a place was found.100 dunam were bought from the land of Haditha village (located north-east ofLod). Wilbosh traveled to Europe in the purpose of learning the processof chemical extraction and ordering the required equipment. \"Hadid\"factory, later known as \"Ben-Shemen\", was established in 1905 withthe financial assistance of Jews from Tzritzin who accepted Wilbosh\'senterprise. The factory began working by the end of January 1906, when all theequipment arrived. The first season was not particularly blessed – out of 260tons of rape, only 10% of oil was produced, and by the end of the season, theamount of oil reduced to merely 5-6%. The factory was used by Petach-Tikva andRehovot\'s farmers. \"Atid\"Factory In 1906 Wilbosh married Shoshana Fineberg.Along with Shmuel and Eliyahu Berlin, he founded \"Atid\" company: afactory for oil and soapwort (i.e. extracting rape oil and soap). \"Achadha\'Am\" named the factory and \"Hadid\" factory joined the company.After purchasing a property on the seashore in Haifa, the factory was builtfrom hewn stone (later it became a museum of oil industry). Nahum Armanmanaged the soapery, and the number of \"Atid\" workers amounted to 100families within two years. Once the iron-pressers started working in thetraditional industry, the percentage of rape oil decreased meaningfully, andthus, rape oil gradually became less profitable. Due to economicdifficulties, the factory was shut down in 1910 and the factories were leased.Nahum Arman continued with a limited soap manufacturing until 1922. Establishing \"Shemen\" Despite the difficulties, Nahum Wilbosh did not give up, and in 1919he founded \"Shemen\" company in London together with his brothersMoshe and Gedaliah Wilboshvitz and Eliyahu Panison. Since they needed a dutyfree port in order to export, they planned on building one near Caesarea.Houses were leased and schemes were written, but the British governmentobjected, in spite of Zeev Jabotinsky\'s lobbyism. In 1922 Nahum andGedaliah Wilboshvitz began establishing \"Shemen\" factory near\"Atid\" factory and started assembling the machines. In the newfactory, advanced methods of manufacturing and machinery were integrated –hydraulic pressers and diesel engines as well as a modern refinery and soapery.The factory\'s engines were inaugurated in December 1924 by the British HighCommissioner, Sir Herbert Samuel. \"Shemen\" factory put mucheffort in prompting and marketing the consumption of Israeli products, and wasamong the first factories which took a major part in building thecountry. The Modern Oil Industry At later times it was found that extracting oil from olives rapedamages the oil quality, and therefore, this method of oil production wasstopped at the late 70\'s. The oil industry moved to producing oils from grainsof different plants such as: soybean, safflower, sunflower and corn whereas theolive oil industry returned only to a mechanical method of manufacturing byolive crushing, extracting the mash and separating the oil juice from the oil.Today \"Atid\" factory is located on the grounds of the\"Shemen\" factory in Haifa, and it has a museum which displays the oilindustry in Israel, since ancient times to the beginning of manufacture untilnowadays The Jaffa orange, also known as the Shamouti orange, is a verysweet, almost seedless orange exported from Israel. Ittakes its name from the city of Jaffa.Characteristics Jaffaoranges are very similar to Valencia oranges,though they are much sweeter. They are characterized by their oval shape, sweetflavor, and strong aroma. The peel is light orange in color, and is normallyvery easy to remove from the fruit. These oranges are very cold-tolerant,allowing them to grow outside of the subtropicalregions normally associated with growing oranges. Jaffa oranges ripen in thespring-to-summer months, making it a midseason fruit. Jaffa oranges aresusceptible to Alternaria, a type of fungus, andare prone to alternate bearing. History Accordingto Daniel Rogov, the variety \"originated in China and Cochinchina\".
