Discover Israel's finest honey, olive oil, jams, and cooking sauces from Yad Mordechai and Etz Hazait — two of Israel's most beloved food brands. All kosher certified, shipped directly from Israel to the USA. Shop now at KosherTop.

Two brands. Seventy years of Israeli food culture between them.

Yad Mordechai — the kibbutz honey and pantry brand that has been on every Israeli table since 1952. Etz Hazait ("The Olive Tree" in Hebrew) — the Israeli olive oil brand that carries the flavor of the Land of Israel in every bottle.

Together, they represent the foundation of Israeli cooking: the sweetener that goes on challah before Rosh Hashanah, the oil that goes on hummus every Friday afternoon, the jam that fills hamantaschen every Purim, and the cooking sauces that make a weeknight chicken dinner taste like something worth sitting down for.

At KosherTop, we carry the complete ranges of both brands — shipped directly from Israel to your door in the USA. Here is everything, with the story behind each product and exactly where to order it.

Yad Mordechai — The Kibbutz That Became Israel's Pantry Brand

Kibbutz Yad Mordechai was established in 1943, named in memory of Mordechai Anielewicz — the commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The kibbutz stands in the western Negev, surrounded by fields and apiaries, and it has been producing Israel's finest honey, jams, and sauces for over 70 years.

<citation index="21-1">Yad Mordechai is a well-known Israeli food brand specializing in honey, olive oil, spreads, sauces, and other pantry essentials. Inspired by local agriculture and Mediterranean flavors, the brand is recognized for quality ingredients and products enjoyed in Israeli homes for generations.</citation>

When Israelis talk about "good honey," they mean Yad Mordechai. When they talk about "real jam," they mean Yad Mordechai. The brand's reputation for quality is so established that its name is essentially shorthand for authentic Israeli pantry products.

Part 1 — Israeli Honey

Yad Mordechai Honey — Squeeze Bottle, 400g

Israel's most beloved honey, produced by the beehives of Kibbutz Yad Mordechai, in the convenient squeeze bottle format that Israeli homes have been using for generations. Pure Israeli wildflower honey — no additives, no preservatives, no blending with imported honeys.

The flavor of Yad Mordechai honey reflects the landscape around the kibbutz: citrus blossoms, wildflowers, eucalyptus, and the native plants of the Israeli coastal plain. It is deeper, more complex, and more distinctively Israeli than generic supermarket honey — the kind of honey that makes the Rosh Hashanah apple-dipping tradition taste exactly as it should.

Kosher: Mehadrin Best for: Rosh Hashanah table, dipping apples and challah, sweetening tea, cooking and baking, gifts

Yad Mordechai Silan — Date Honey, 380g

Pure date syrup — made from 100% Medjoul dates with no added sugar and no preservatives. <citation index="22-1">Date honey is natural and produced from 100% Majhoull type dates. The rich and sweet taste of the natural date honey blends well with many foods and can be a substitute for sugar. It is great in marinades, for seasoning salads and sautéed vegetables, for baking, for desserts and for sweetening drinks.</citation>

Silan is one of the Seven Species of the Land of Israel mentioned in the Torah — a sweetener with thousands of years of history in this land. In modern Israeli cooking, it appears everywhere: drizzled over tahini paste as a breakfast dip, used as a glaze for roasted chicken, stirred into salad dressings, and poured over ice cream as a deeply flavored caramel alternative.

The Yad Mordechai silan is produced in a squeeze bottle — the practical format for a product you reach for constantly once it enters your kitchen.

Kosher: Parve — no added sugar or preservatives Best for: Tahini dip, meat glazes, salad dressings, baking, desserts, Rosh Hashanah table

Part 2 — Israeli Jams & Preserves

Yad Mordechai jams are produced from Israeli-grown fruit — strawberries, apricots, cherries, and berries — picked at peak ripeness and preserved with minimal processing. They contain no artificial preservatives and no artificial coloring. What's in the jar is fruit, sugar, and pectin — nothing else.

For Israeli families, Yad Mordechai jam is the jam. It appears on breakfast tables, inside hamantaschen, spread over Petit Beurre biscuits, and stirred into yogurt. It is what Israeli children eat on toast, and what Israeli adults still reach for decades later.

Yad Mordechai Strawberry Jam — 340g

Israel's most popular jam flavor. Deep red, intensely fruity, with a balance of sweetness and natural tartness that preserves the actual character of the strawberry rather than simply sweetening it.

🛒 Order Yad Mordechai Strawberry Jam 340g →

Yad Mordechai Berries Jam — 340g

A mixed berry preserve — richer and more complex than single-fruit jams, with layers of flavor from different berry varieties. The Israeli summer berry harvest, preserved in a jar.

🛒 Order Yad Mordechai Berries Jam 340g →

Yad Mordechai Cherry Jam — 340g

Deep, dark cherry preserve — more intense and less sweet than strawberry, with a slightly tart finish that makes it excellent both for spreading and for cooking. Particularly good with cheese, in hamantaschen, or stirred into Greek yogurt.

🛒 Order Yad Mordechai Cherry Jam 340g →

Yad Mordechai Apricot Jam — 340g

Bright orange, floral, and sweet — apricot jam is the most versatile flavor in the Yad Mordechai range. Use as a glaze for roasted chicken (apricot chicken is a classic Israeli Shabbat dish), in hamantaschen, spread on challah, or as a sauce base for meat.

Part 3 — Israeli Cooking Sauces

This is where Yad Mordechai surprises people. Beyond honey and jam, the brand produces a range of cooking sauces — Israeli-style glazes and marinades that simplify the weeknight dinner problem while delivering genuinely complex flavors.

Yad Mordechai Sweet Chili Sauce — 300g

The Israeli kitchen's most-used Asian-inspired condiment. Sweet, gently spiced, and extremely versatile — equally good as a dipping sauce, a glaze for grilled chicken, a stir-fry base, or a dressing for rice noodle salads.

Yad Mordechai Chicken with Plums Cooking Sauce — 300g

One of the most distinctly Israeli cooking sauces in the range. Plum and chicken is a classic combination in Ashkenazi and Sephardic cooking alike — sweet, tangy, and deeply savory. Pour over chicken pieces and roast until the sauce caramelizes. Serve with rice or couscous.

Part 4 — Israeli Olive Oil

Yad Mordechai Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil — 500ml, Kosher Mehadrin

Yad Mordechai's own extra virgin olive oil — cold pressed, premium blend, certified Kosher Mehadrin. Produced from olives grown in Israel, it delivers the full-bodied, slightly peppery flavor profile of genuine Mediterranean extra virgin olive oil.

For Israeli cooking, olive oil is not a condiment — it is a cooking medium, a finishing touch, a dipping sauce, and a flavoring agent all at once. On hummus, on fresh bread, in salad dressings, for sautéing, for roasting — olive oil appears in virtually every Israeli dish.

Kosher: Mehadrin Best for: Dipping with bread, finishing hummus, salad dressings, cooking

Etz Hazait Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Classic & Delicate

<citation index="27-1">Etz Hazait is a well-known Israeli food brand specializing in olive oil, cooking oils, spreads, and Mediterranean pantry products. The brand is recognized for quality, tradition, and products that bring authentic Israeli and Mediterranean flavors to everyday cooking.</citation>

Etz Hazait produces two distinct extra virgin olive oil profiles:

Classic (0.5% acidity) — <citation index="35-1">Cold pressed, with the lowest acidity of today's olive oils — up to 0.5% tartness. Suitable for dipping or frying. All natural.</citation> The classic format for everyday use — robust enough for cooking, smooth enough for finishing.

Delicate (0.5% acidity) — <citation index="25-1">Produced from a select combination of Arbkina and Uchibalanka olives, with a deep fruity flavor and wonderful aroma, giving a light and refined flavor. Produced in cold press with the lowest acidity available.</citation> For those who prefer a lighter, more delicate oil profile — excellent for salad dressings and finishing dishes where the oil's flavor should be present but not dominant.

Taaman Spanish Extra Virgin Olive Oil — 500ml

For those who prefer Spanish olive oil: Taaman's cold-extracted Spanish extra virgin olive oil, 500ml, kosher certified. Spanish olive oils tend toward fruitier, less peppery profiles than Israeli oils — a different character that suits different uses and preferences.

Why Order Directly from Israel?

Yad Mordechai products are available in some American kosher stores — but the selection is limited and the freshness is not guaranteed. Israeli sauces and jams have a shelf life of 12-18 months, but products that have spent several months in transit and warehouse storage are noticeably less vibrant in flavor.

When you order from KosherTop, your Yad Mordechai honey was produced at Kibbutz Yad Mordechai and shipped fresh to you — not aged in a US warehouse before reaching your table.
