Sondey Jodekoeken

Sondey Jodekoeken are traditional Dutch shortbread cookies known for their round, flat shape and crunchy texture. The 'Sondey' brand is a private label exclusively owned and sold by the international discount supermarket chain Lidl. While the Jodekoek itself is a classic Dutch recipe dating back to the late 19th century, this specific version is manufactured by specialized Dutch bakeries under contract for Lidl.

Lidl, the ultimate owner of the brand, is headquartered in Germany and operates as part of the Schwarz Group. The group is one of the largest retailers in the world and manages the production of Sondey products through various third-party suppliers, predominantly in the country where the product is sold or where the recipe originated. In this case, manufacturing is carried out in the Netherlands to maintain the authenticity of the traditional product.
