Wasa Dark Chocolate Wholegrain Biscuits

Wasa, a brand synonymous with Scandinavan health and tradition, was originally founded in Skänninge, Sweden, in 1919. While most famous for its crispbread, the brand has diversified into sweet wholegrain biscuits. This specific product, Wasa Dark Chocolate Wholegrain Biscuits, targets the health-conscious consumer by utilizing wholegrain flour and avoiding palm oil.

Historically, Wasa was established as 'Wasabröd' by Karl Edvard Lundström. In 1999, the brand was acquired by the Italian global food giant Barilla Group. Today, the manufacturing of Wasa products is centralized in large facilities; while some classic crispbreads are still made in Filipstad, Sweden, many of the specialty biscuit lines and export products are produced at Barilla's specialized bakery plants in Germany to serve the broader European market.
