Based in Spain, Pastisart has long been celebrated for its artisanal baked goods, blending traditional European craftsmanship with exceptional taste. Now kosher-certified under MK Kosher, Pastisart’s initial kosher-certified product—the Chocolate Brioche Roll (with Butter)—will soon be available in Costco stores across the United States. This dairy, non-Cholov Yisrael product features layers of buttery, laminated dough and a decadent chocolate filling, providing kosher consumers with a taste of European indulgence. This rich, delectable treat is a perfect addition to MK Kosher’s global portfolio, allowing North American consumers to enjoy Pastisart’s artisanal excellence right at home.
But that’s just the beginning. MK Kosher and Pastisart are collaborating on additional kosher certifications for more of Pastisart’s products, which will soon bring a variety of premium baked goods to kosher tables worldwide.
In addition to Pastisart, MK Kosher recently certified Algamar, Spain’s first company specializing in organic, edible Atlantic seaweed. Based in Galicia Spain, Algamar harvests nutrient-rich seaweed varieties that offer exceptional flavor and health benefits, now all available with the kosher certification. With a commitment to sustainability and nutrition, Algamar’s seaweed products—from Wakame and Nori to Dulse—are ideal for adding a kosher-approved superfood to a wide range of dishes.
The addition of Pastisart and Algamar highlights MK Kosher’s reach and commitment as a global kosher certification agency.
