“Enjoy these cookies with your favorite hot beverage or by themselves as an exquisite snack. They are elicious, healthful, crunchy and all-natural," said Yuval Zaliouk, owner and CEO, YZ Enterprises Inc., Almondina® cookies’ parent company, adding, “These are a great snack anytime, but are the perfect autumn cookie with coffee, tea, or hot apple cider!"
Almondina® cookies are created from a secret family recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation and was introduced to the market in 1989. A serving of 3 cookies fewer than 100 calories and is kosher and Parve (non-dairy).
For generations, Zaliouk’s family loved his grandmother Dina's most-secret cookie, which she called Petit Gateau Sec. Long after his grandmother's death, Zaliouk became aware that the remarkable characteristics of this delicious, but nutritious cookie fell squarely in line with the growing demands of health-conscious consumers. Within seven years, having started baking in his kitchen, the cookies (renamed Almondina® after Dina, his grandmother), were available in all 50 states and sought after in seven foreign countries.
