Ogdensburg, NY – According to a report by Shmais News Service, the Ahava Food Company has been acquired by Toobro, LLC, a company whose owners, Menachem and Schneur Bistritzky, have years of experience in the food industry. The Bistritzkys plan to update and improve the existing operation while continuing to uphold the highest standards in kosher food production and low prices for consumers.

“Toobro, LLC plans to take a good company and make it even better,” said Hank Sheinkopf, a spokesperson for the company. “We are going to be the big cheese of the kosher cheese business.”

For years, Ahava had produced a number of household names in the kosher dairy industry – such as SlimU, Morning Select and New Square, among others – but recently the company had fallen on hard times. Ahava, which has two upstate production facilities and corporate offices in Brooklyn, filed for bankruptcy and was ultimately purchased by Toobro, LLC a few days ago. A new management team has already been installed and looks forward to moving the established brands into the future with a new focus on quality and affordability.

In only the first few days since taking over Ahava, Toobro, LLC has already poured in hundreds of thousands of dollars into updating the facility in Ogdensburg. Additionally, the company has brought in an industry specialist to inspect and certify the plant for production. Ahava also has a facility in Lowville which currently produces most of their products. That facility is also being updated at this time and is currently running at full production.

“Our goal is to send out Quality products that are 100 percent fresh, Ultra kosher and delicious,” Sheinkopf said. “Our prices may be low, but all our milk and cheese will be of the highest quality. We want people to enjoy our milk and cheese and have confidence in our product.”

All Toobro’s products continue to carry the highest level of Kosher supervision. The company’s supervision starts from the milking stage through shipment and distribution.
