One of the things that I look forward to when I go to Israel is the cheese. They always have a good variety of cheese on the hotel buffets, especially for breakfast. I will usually fill most of a plate with different cheeses.

The first morning in Israel this year I was not disappointed as the hotel in Ashkelon had a nice variety of cheeses. I really like the semi-soft white cheeses. Here at home I mostly eat harder cheeses.

At our hotel at the Dead Sea we had similar choices, but the display was a bit nicer. I also liked the cheese to the right that had bits of peppers in it.

On to the north to Tiberias and the cheese was a bit different. I never did get a picture of the cheese layout, but I took several pictures of my cheese plates. Here you can see that I also added a few more items to my plate.

I like to have cucumbers for breakfast in Israel. I try to do the same here at home, but get lazy and don’t want to slice them. I am trying to do better.

You may have noticed that the last three pictures have a little glass cube with balls of cheese in them. These were very interesting as the cheese had a very assertive flavor. They were really good, but others in the group didn’t seem to like them 🙂 I would often go back for more.

Well I guess I should also add in the cheese that is on the pizza at Jacob’s Pizza.

I am ready to go back to Israel, but for much more than just the good cheese 🙂
