A Grandmother's Secret
A Grandmother's secret recipe is no added fat, no-cholesterol, no salt cookie for our time.
"Generous as she was in giving away her recipes, Grandma Dina kept the one for Petit Gateau Sec a total secret until the end of her life. Only then did she finally reveal the secret to her daughter, Ahuda, my mother.”
"It is with her blessing and with pride that my family shares these delicious, healthful wonders with your family," says Yuval.
Long after his grandmother's death, Zaliouk became aware that the remarkable characteristics of this addictively delicious but extremely nutritious cookie fell squarely in line with the growing demands of health-conscious consumers at the end of the century. Within seven years, having started baking in his kitchen, the biscuits (renamed Almondina® after Dina, his grandmother), were available in all fifty states, sought after in seven foreign countries, and had brought him recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year.
The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to these enticingly delicious biscuits.
Since the introduction in 1989 of the classic
The Original
flavor, eight more distinctive variations have been introduced, all of which continue to be packed with roasted almonds.
The Company is Celebrating a Delicious Crunch for More Than 20 Years.
Its mission remains the same:
“TO PUT A DELICIOUS HEALTHFUL COOKIE ON EVERY TABLE.”
My Review :
My children and I, as well as some dear friends of ours, sat down at our table to sample the different flavors of biscuit cookies that I received from ALMONDINA. The one thing I found the most amazing, is that each and every one of us had a favorite, and nearly all of us had different "favorites" than the others! These wonderful little biscuit cookies are thin and crunchy with just a touch of sweetness! They have become addicting and each time I think of getting a little treat, ALMONDINA biscuits come into my mind.
Each biscuit has a sweet, crunchy cookie with slivers of almonds in it - many of them also have raisins within to add a little sweet to it.
As the sponsor said in our email correspondence:
" The Delicious Cookie Without the Guilt, this all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives and has only 30 calories. The Almondina story is terrific & heartwarming."
My personal favorites are the Cinnaroma and Original flavors (I really didn't like the Chocolate Cherry - I'm not fond of cherries in cookies or sweets)
My kids loved the Choconut and Gingerspice best
And our friends (both in their 70's) loved the Chocolate Cherry and the Sesame best
There is a flavor for everyone! These wonderfully delicious biscuit cookies have become a new favorite treat in my house! I think you will enjoy them as well. And for those who like cookies with their coffee - I definitely recommend trying out the ALONDINA bicsuits! Check out the website ~ http://www.almondina.com/ for even more great flavors.
