My Kosher for Pesach Posts from Last Year

קליק כשר לפסח

As I mentioned yesterday, in my review of Klik's Kosher for Pesach Wafer Roll , I reviewed quite a few Kosher for Pesach products last year that I have every reason to believe are exactly the same as the ones you will find in the shops again this year. Therefore I don’t see a reason to try them again and write a new review about them. Instead I will just give you a rundown with links to all my posts from last year so you have all the information in a neat and organized manner. So here we go, in no particular order...

Klik Kosher for Pesach Wafer Roll

קליק חטיף וופל כשר לפסח

Last year I reviewed a few of Klik Kosher for Pesach Chocolate Covered Cereal snack packs. They are available again this year but my assumption is they are the exact same product I reviewed last year so I don't plan on re-reviewing those or any of the Pesach products I posted about last year. That is unless I try something and it seems very different to what I tasted and reviewed last year but my guess is that will not happen much.

One Klik snack I didn’t review last year was this Chocolate Covered Kosher for Pesach Nougat filled Wafer Roll. The package says it’s a “new recipe” but I didn’t taste it last year so I can’t compare it to that.

They come in a white chocolate coating and a milk chocolate coating. I wanted to try both but the supermarkets I went to only had the milk chocolate one. So that’s the one I will review here.

Product Of The Year Winners 2012

מוצרי השנה 2012

The annual Product of the Year Awards took place recently. I wrote about it here on Isreview last year as well. Since many of the food and drink winners this year are products I reviewed within the past year I thought it would be even more fun and interesting for me to blog about the winners this time.

Awards are given in other categories aside from food, snacks and drinks but since this blog is about 95% food, snacks and drink reviews I will mostly mention the food, snacks and drink winner. If you want to see the winners in other categories you can check out the Product of the Year website for all the details.

Let’s get started with the Food and Snack items... And The Winners Are...

Sucrazit’s Stevia Based Sweetener Packets

סוכרזית סטייוויה

Sucrazit, one of Israel’s leading sugar substitute companies, have finally gotten on board and came out with a Stievia based sweetener in packets. For years now I have been looking for a convenient stevia based sweetener here in Israel. I was able to find dried stevia leaves or a liquid alcohol based one but those did not suit my needs. I ended up buying stevia packets from overseas but now finally they are available here, from Sucrazit. They can be found at many of the major supermarkets most likely in the “health food” department.

In case you’re unfamiliar with what stevia is here is a rundown from Wikipedia:

Strauss’s Hazelnut Low Calorie Ice Cream

Happy Spring Everyone!

שטראוס גלידה מיני לייט אגוזים

I thought today, being the first day of spring, would make today the perfect day to tell you about another ice cream I tasted recently. It’s one of Strauss low calorie ice cream pops that I have never tried before. I am not 100% sure if it’s a new flavor or not. It doesn’t say new on the box and I didn’t read a press release about it (yet) but I had never seen it in the stores before. So maybe it’s not new but it was new to me so I decided to blog about it regardless.

Osem’s Hazelnut Lachmit Crackers, Tnuva’s Low Lactose 5% Soft White Cheese & Beit Hashita’s Green Pitted Olives in Lemon Seasoning

I have three products that I wanted to tell you about but for one reason or another I don’t have that much to write about each of them. I thought I'd just give you a short Bottom Line on each one, in case you saw them in the store and wondered if you should try them.

The three products are: Osem’s Hazelnut Lachmit Crackers, Tnuva’s Low Lactose 5% Soft White Cheese & Beit Hashita’s Green Pitted Olives in Lemon Seasoning.

Loacker Chocolate Coated Wafer Sheets

פולייט של לואקר דפי וופל

Loacker has a new product on the local market; Chocolate Coated Wafer Sheets. They come in two flavors. One is a white (vanilla) wafer sheet coated in 73% milk-chocolate and drizzled with 9% dark-chocolate and the second is a dark (chocolate) wafer sheet coated in 73% dark-chocolate and has a 9% white-chocolate drizzle.

The Loacker website describes them as:

 “Light and crispy wafer leaves covered with the finest chocolate: what a delight! Incredibly rich in chocolate (82% of the product) and so irresistible…perfectly in line with the expectations of chocolate lovers searching for light crispiness“

Being a big fan of chocolate, and many other Loacker product, their description sealed the deal, now I surely wanted to try this.
