The Ahava Food Company, which operates the only plant in the USA that produces exclusively cholov yisroel cheese and milk, was recently acquired by Toobro, LLC, a company whose owners have years of experience in the food industry.
Toobro’s owners, Menachem Bistritzky and Schneur Bistritzky who have over 40 years of combined experience in food manufacturing and distribution, 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.
New Square is the best and finest kosher company around better than golden flow or any other company
good luck!!! we are proud of you and cheese is a good product
much success, g-d speed
Good luck!
Do you manufacture or plans to manufacture Kosher Parmesan or Romano?
Mendy and Schneur we are proud that you are continuing to bring Cholov Yisroel of good quality and Hashgacha to Klal Yisroel. May you both be zoche to be a source of nachas to the Rebbe and to our dear Parents to whom this was and is a very important issue for the klal.
The only thing people use from them is milk
For cheese there is a much wider variety from other brands (U.S., French, Swiss and Israeli)
We need responsible people running kosher companies and not do a chilul hashem! Good luck Bistritzki’s

I hopr that they will be able to pull off the deal. This is a long way from the Cheese store that their Father had for many years at 27 1/2 (?) Essex St. in the lower East Side and was a landmark by itself.
