A Fresh Take on Tradition

Although created way back in the 14th century, the Original Carlsbad Oblaten has been retooled for the 21st century with the introduction of two trendy new varieties by New Germany, Minn.-based Award Baking International, a division of Kenny B’s Cookie Co. According to Award Baking International CEO Tim Kraft, “The addition of Strawberry and Green Tea to our flavor portfolio follows the national trend of health-conscious choices.” Also available in the historic flavors of Vanilla-Almond, Lemon, Chocolate, Caramel, and Cinnamon, the crisp low-calorie wafers, which arrived in the New World in 1948, are 100 percent natural and boast just 2 grams of sugar per seven-wafer serving. A 1-ounce single-serve package retails for $2.19 to $2.49. For more information, contact Becky Koller at [email protected] or 763-568-8659.
