With a legacy deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, Manischewitz is embarking on a journey to transcend the kosher aisle, inviting everyone to “Savor Our Tradition” and explore the culinary depths of Jewish heritage.
“Manischewitz is not just about food; it is about stories, heritage, and a sense of belonging. Through this rebranding, we aim to capture the hearts of the culturally curious and kosher-keeping alike, offering a taste of Jewish tradition that is accessible to all, adds Seidman. “Inspired by the inclusivity seen in brands with other cuisines, Manischewitz seeks to become the emblematic gateway to Jewish culture, one delicious product at a time,” Seidman adds.
About The Manischewitz Brand
Manischewitz journey began in 1888 with a simple box of matzo. Today, the company is proud to continue that tradition while adapting to the tastes and dietary needs of the modern consumer. This rebrand is not just a change in packaging or marketing but a renewal of our commitment to quality, tradition, and inclusivity.
The Manischewitz Brand offers a diverse product line of over 30 unique product categories. The iconic brand was founded in a small bakery built to make Passover matzo in 1888 by Rabbi Dov Behr Manischewitz. Success paved the way for introducing new products like Tam® Crackers, Chicken Soup, Macaroons, and Gefilte Fish. Today’s Manischewitz offers Broths, Noodles, Potato Pancakes, and Matzo Balls. Manischewitz is matzo and so much more! The Manischewitz Brand is now part of New Jersey-based KAYCO, a family-owned company considered America’s first name in kosher products.
