There is a brand that appears on every Israeli kitchen counter, in every school lunchbox, at every office coffee station, and on every holiday table from Rosh Hashanah to Passover.
It's called Elite. And it has been the defining taste of Israeli daily life since 1934.
Elite was founded in Tel Aviv over 90 years ago and has grown into Israel's most iconic food brand — producing the chocolate bars, the coffee, the wafers, and the spreads that generations of Israelis have grown up with. When an Israeli living abroad is asked what they miss most about home, Elite products appear on almost every list.
At KosherTop, we ship the complete Elite range directly from Israel to the USA. Here is every product — chocolate, coffee, snacks, and spreads — with the story behind each one and exactly where to order it.
The Elite Story — 90 Years of Israeli Taste
Elite was established in 1934 in Tel Aviv, making it one of Israel's oldest food companies. For decades it operated as an independent Israeli brand before becoming part of the Strauss Group — one of Israel's largest food conglomerates. But the brand identity never changed: Elite means Israeli chocolate, Israeli coffee, and the particular flavor of Israeli childhood.
What distinguishes Elite products from other kosher chocolate brands is not just quality — it's cultural resonance. Pesek Zman is not just a chocolate bar. It is the specific bar that Israeli children have been unwrapping since 1982. Mekupelet is not just milk chocolate. It is the corrugated bar that has been in Israeli homes since the 1930s. Elite Turkish coffee is not just coffee. It is the coffee that sits on every Israeli kitchen counter, drunk in small cups after every Shabbat meal.
When you order Elite products from KosherTop — shipped fresh from Israel, not from a US warehouse — you're getting these products at their best: freshest, most recently produced, and in the full variety that Israel offers.
Part 1 — The Chocolate Bars
Pesek Zman — Israel's Most Beloved Chocolate Bar
<cite index="10-1">Pesek Zman was introduced in 1982. The original bar consists of two layers: a wafer and a chocolate coating. The wafer contains chocolate cream.</cite> Since then it has become Israel's most recognized and most requested chocolate bar — the one that Israelis ask relatives to bring in their suitcase, the one that appears in every Israeli gift basket, and the one that Americans who try it for the first time describe as "better than Kit Kat."
The Pesek Zman formula — crispy wafer, caramel layer, chocolate coating — delivers a combination of textures that makes each square a complete experience. The chocolate quality is noticeably higher than most American wafer bars.

Mekupelet — The Corrugated Chocolate That Melts Differently
<cite index="17-1">Its name, derived from the Hebrew word for "folded," perfectly describes its intricate, thin-layered structure that creates a delicate, crumbly texture. Made with high-quality milk chocolate, each bite offers a unique sensory experience — starting with a satisfying crunch and ending with a smooth, creamy melt.</cite>
Mekupelet has been an Israeli staple since the 1930s — one of the oldest continuously produced chocolate bars in Israel. <cite index="17-1">Kosher Dairy Badatz Yerushalayim certified.</cite> The corrugated structure is not just aesthetic: it creates air pockets in the chocolate that make it melt more slowly and more richly than solid milk chocolate.

Kif Kef — The Wafer Finger Everyone Loves
<cite index="27-1">Kif Kef is virtually a member of the family — it's been here since we were kids and is simply addictive. The chocolate bar everyone loves — adults with coffee, and kids share it with their friends.</cite>
Kif Kef comes in two formats: the classic milk chocolate-coated wafer fingers, and a white chocolate version. Both deliver the same satisfying combination — crispy wafer, chocolate coating, the kind of snack that disappears from the bowl before anyone notices it was opened.
<cite index="23-1">Kif Kef — chocolate-coated wafer fingers. It's been here since we were kids and is simply addictive.</cite> The 400g bulk pack is what you want for a household that goes through Kif Kef at the rate that most Israeli households do.
Available at KosherTop:
🛒 Order Kif Kef Red (Milk Chocolate) 3x45g → 🛒 Order Kif Kef White (White Chocolate) 3x45g → 🛒 Order Mini Kif Kef Bulk Pack 400g → 🛒 Order Kif Kef Biscuit Snacks 2x135g →
Tortit — The Parve Classic Since 1975
<cite index="20-1">Tortit was launched by Elite in 1975. The snack is made of a wafer coated with chocolate and contains rum-like almond cream. Being parve, it can be eaten as a dessert after a meat meal, and since it has no milk or eggs it is vegan.</cite>
This is what makes Tortit so important in the Israeli kosher kitchen: it is one of the few chocolate bars that is fully parve — meaning it can be served after a meat meal without any kashrut complications. For Shabbat dinner dessert, for holiday tables where meat was served, for anyone who keeps strictly kosher — Tortit is the chocolate bar that works every time.
<cite index="20-1">As of 2017 the Tortit brand held 6.7% of the Israeli candy bar market.</cite> That number has only grown since.

The Elite Mix Pack — Pesek Zman, Mekupelet & Kif Kef Together
For the Israeli chocolate experience in one box: Elite's mix pack combines mini versions of their three most iconic bars — Pesek Zman, Mekupelet, and Kif Kef — in a single bag. <cite index="13-1">A blend of sweet chocolates with a familiar Israeli flavor. Mini chocolates that you can take anywhere for a snack. Kosher Halavi, made in Israel.</cite>
The 190g bag has 10-12 units; the 390g Family Pack has 20-22 units — ideal for Shabbat tables, parties, holiday baskets, and any gathering where one chocolate bar is never enough.

Elite Dark Chocolate Brownies — Bakery Quality in a Package
<cite index="25-1">Take a time-out with these delicious brownies by Elite. You're expecting guests or simply want something sweet to go with your coffee? Elite's cake series is the perfect solution for entertaining, a birthday, or a nibble.</cite>
Made with 13.6% premium dark chocolate, real cocoa powder, eggs, and hazelnut puree — this is not a standard packaged brownie. The formula produces a dense, fudgy, intensely chocolatey result that stands above most homemade versions. Slice and serve with coffee — no baking required.
Kosher: Dairy Best for: Guests, gifts, Shabbat, holiday dessert

Part 2 — The Cocoa Powder
Elite Cocoa Powder 150g — The Israeli Baking Standard
When an Israeli recipe calls for cocoa, it means Elite cocoa. This is not interchangeable. Elite's low-fat cocoa powder has been the baking standard in Israel for decades — the benchmark for chocolate cakes, chocolate biscuit cakes (uga biskvitim), cookies, and hot cocoa drinks.
For the classic Israeli no-bake chocolate biscuit cake — layers of Petit Beurre soaked in coffee, spread with chocolate cream — Elite cocoa is the ingredient that gives it its distinctive deep, slightly bitter chocolate character.
Kosher: Parve Best for: Uga biskvitim, chocolate cake, cookies, hot cocoa
🛒 Order Elite Cocoa Powder 150g →
Part 3 — The Chocolate Spreads
Elite Cow Chocolate Spread — The Classic, 500g
Elite's flagship chocolate spread — known by its "Cow" brand and distinctive packaging — is one of the most used products in the Israeli kitchen. Richer and creamier than Hashahar, with a milk chocolate flavor profile that spreads smoothly and melts beautifully in baking.
Used on bread, as a cake filling and topping, in cookies, on crepes and waffles. The 500g format is the right quantity for a household that uses chocolate spread regularly — which, in Israel, means virtually every household.

Elite Pesek Zman Chocolate Spread — The Bar Becomes a Spread
<cite index="15-1">This chocolate spread is flavored as the popular Pesek Zman Chocolate Candy in Israel. Good for spreading on bread or for baking, filling or topping cakes.</cite> Contains 10% hazelnuts and 6.2% cocoa powder.
The flavor of Israel's most beloved chocolate bar — in spreadable form. For anyone who grew up on Pesek Zman, this spread is an immediate emotional hit. For anyone discovering it for the first time, it's a revelation.
Available in two sizes:
🛒 Order Pesek Zman Spread 350g → 🛒 Order Pesek Zman Spread 700g →
Part 4 — The Coffee
Elite Turkish Coffee — Israel's Most Beloved Coffee
Elite Turkish coffee is not just a product. It is an Israeli institution.
Drunk in small cups after Shabbat meals, holiday dinners, and every family gathering for decades, Elite Turkish coffee — ground fine, brewed strong, poured carefully so the sediment settles — is the coffee that defines Israeli hospitality. The version with cardamom (הל) is the most beloved: aromatic, slightly exotic, and unmistakably Middle Eastern in the best possible way.
Available formats:
🛒 Order Elite Turkish Coffee with Cardamom 100g → 🛒 Order Elite Turkish Coffee To Go — 24 Individual Packets 168g →
The "To Go" format — 24 individual 7g packets — is the modern Israeli solution for work, travel, and anywhere you want Elite coffee without a traditional Turkish coffee pot. Each packet brews one cup. The cardamom aroma fills the room the moment you open the packet.

Why Order Elite Directly from Israel?
Elite products are available in American kosher stores and on Amazon — but the freshness difference between a product shipped directly from Israel and one that has been sitting in a US warehouse for several months is immediately noticeable in taste and texture.
Chocolate, in particular, is sensitive to temperature fluctuations during storage. Products that have traveled through summer heat and warehouse storage often show bloom — the white or gray surface that appears when cocoa butter separates due to temperature changes. Fresh Elite products from Israel arrive in the condition they left the factory: smooth, properly tempered, at their best.
At KosherTop, every Elite product ships directly from Israel — fresh, correctly stored, and in the full variety available in Israeli stores, including formats that never reach American distribution.
