In brief
As rockets fly, farmers persist, navigating danger to produce luxury caviar amid destruction.
In the shadows of ongoing conflict, Assaf Koren oversees Caviar Galilee in Kibbutz Dan, Israel. For 14 months, the fish farm has been under the looming threat of Hezbollah rockets and Israeli interceptors. Amidst the chaos, the farm’s workers continue to tend to 50,000 female osetra sturgeon, the potential source of a decade’s worth of luxurious caviar. "Koren faces each day questioning the safety of his crew, but with caviar worth as much as $40 million, surrender is not an option. Not even an explosive blow that took out their factory door could halt their ambition. After the attack, everyone returned to work the very next day, proving their unwavering dedication to a fish load that tastes like gold!"
