Almondina Snacks Review

Grandmother’s Secret

Grandmother’s secret recipe is a no added fat,
no-cholesterol cookie for our time.

Almondina® is the inspiring success story of a man whose great loves include both music and wonderful food. For generations his family loved his grandmother Dina’s most secret cookie, which she called Petit Gateau Sec. Yuval Zaliouk, an internationally known symphony conductor and gourmet chef, always had a special place in his heart (and stomach) for this exquisite, crispy wafer with the delicate flavor of roasted almonds and the natural sweetness of plump raisins.

“Generous as she was in giving away her recipes, Grandmother 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 the Zaliouk family shares these delicious, healthful wonders with your family.”

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 buyers at the end of the century. Within seven years having started baking in his kitchen, the cookies, renamed Almondina® for his grandmother, were available in all fifty states, sought after in seven foreign countries, and had brought him recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year.

This all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives. It is wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be dipped. It is a delightful accompaniment for coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines. 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 this enticingly delicious cookie.

Since the introduction of the classic Original flavor, eight more distinctive variations have been introduced, all of which continue to be packed with roasted almonds. A recent innovation, Chocolate Cherry, combines the almonds with dark chocolate and plump cherries.


First off I have to say that I do not like nuts. I have been given opportunity to tast a lot of things I normally wouldn't like by doing this blog. I do however love biscotti so had to test these out! I fell in love with Almondina! Each snack was not just a nut filled snack. The flavors in each of these were great! My ultimate favorite one was the Ginger spice! I loved them all but the overall fav had to be that one!

Almonds, Flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour), Pure Cane Sugar, Egg Whites, Diced Ginger, Natural Flavors. Kosher Pareve.


Each package of these is 4oz of great flavor for $3.49 each!

Here in Missouri they carry these at 6 places. Glad to hear they are so easily accessible! How about near you?

Each piece is crispy but not hard. Even our 8 month old was able to gum these, she loves these! I had to hide some of these so that I was able to get some to test for myself. I sat down one day with a package and before I knew it I had eaten all but a couple pieces!! Yes, they are that good! Thanks goodness the calories aren't too bad... I shouldn't have eaten them all but they were too good to stop!

The cherry chocolate ones even had pieces of dried cherries in them! Truly worth running to the store and buying some to eat with your coffee or even with a little ice cream for dessert OR just eating alone while reading a good book!

Since Cancer is a big thing in our family I was interested in finding out that Almonds can help with:

Almonds & Chemotherapy

A randomized clinical trial has confirmed what many people suspect — that ginger can decrease nausea caused by chemotherapy. The effect goes beyond that provided by standard anti-vomiting drugs.
