- People around the world have dedicated their lives to making Passover matzo. One bakery in Ukraine makes 700 lbs. by hand a day, even as Russian forces advance. In America, Streit's kept its family-run factory in business for nearly a century. So how did "the bread of the poor" grow into a $110 million industry?

Soviets Banned Matzo, Now Ukraine Supplies The $110 Million American Market | Big Business
Honestly 1/3 of matzo sold in the US being handmade is hella impressive.
I completely agree
i thought they said 1/3 of handmade matzo that was sold in us was made by them. not 1/3 of matzo sold is handmade, then they said more than half sold is factory made
so no ones going to talk about the lack of diversity in these busineess? they are clearly only hiring jews and discriminate against non jews. What about the generational wealth being kept in the "bloodline"? all of a sudden discrimination and keeping wealth in the blood/race is ok?
@@goodgoyim9459 yes
@@goodgoyim9459 The city has a large population of Jews, yet they are still only allowing Jews to work. This is the problem with religion, dumb arbitrary things being taken from an ancient unreliable book used to discriminate people.
I am from Dnipro. Very proud of my people.
The world is proud of your people.
@@soaringvulture World... ??
You should be. Ukraine is a great country.
I'm Mexican American and I love Matzo! Its sad how much this world fights and hates one another... I wish we could all just get along and appreciate each and every culture. There's SO MUCH GOOD FOOD AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!
And my wife is Jewish and loves tortillas!
Howdy from your neighbors up North (USA). All cultures matter and are precious.
I’m Mexican on one side and Jewish on the other!
You are so right. we all need to bring our grandmother's favorite dish to the political table, have a meal and THEN talk. Being Hangry is the worst when it comes to conversations. My pregnant wife is a prime example. feed her 2 snicker's ice cream bars and she becomes rational... i think most of the world is pregnant, and hungry. poutine and custard for everyone! ( thanks Canada).
I'm Hispanic, and my wife is Jewish. I celebrate Jewish holidays with her. I LOVE motzo with butter and she loves tamales!! ÓRALE!
I'd like to wish these businesses continued success for many generations to come. Peace and happiness.
Yeah now they're gone and you know what we losed nothing.
sure, because mixing flour and water is not something you can easily do in your own kitchen.
It's rather sad that some people persecute others for something as simple as baking wheat. I'm glad that these folks were able to continue the tradition, even through adversity.
And it's because of this that Jews value tradition so much. By keeping them alive it proves that the thousands of years of persecution didn't stop us.
@@JonathanKayne amein!
🤣The funniest part is the idea of communism and the politburo of the USSR were all JEWS.
@@glorymanheretosleep Marx was a jew, as was Trotsky aka. Lev Bronfstein.
Nothing is as simple as it appears. Nothing is as complicated as you are told.
The dough processing using a pole is similar to making Cantonese egg noodle! Great episode, wishing them continued success and safety!
I was just about to say! That was just like the bamboo pole noodles.
Poles are humans too.
Just shows that people all around the world have developed independently similar technologies and Cultural practices
A good example is dumplings
Almost all cultures have some equivalent to dumplings
Saw that on one of Anthony Bourdain's episodes in HK. I have had egg noodles in HK and they are amazing!
Its not the same. Noodles are made from machine cutters unlike Matzo.
I had know idea what this bread was all about what it means to the people. Hands down one of the coolest videos out there. What a fantastic way to learn the history of it and that their was way to many people that lost their lives because of it and that they stood together and said we will not be stopped and we wont stop. Congratulations this an eye opening experience and a wonderful way to educate people who don't know what these people these human beings went through for this is just incredible. Thank you for sharing this story.
I'm not Jewish but I love Matzo. My ex girlfriend, who is not Jewish either, got me into eating it and now my daughter loves it too. I wish great success for all the companies. Especially the ones in Ukraine.

I love Matzo! I'm not even Jewish, I'm Buddhist! When I realized I was allergic to wheat, I found a company that makes gluten-free Matzo and I still eat it! Matzo is amazing especially with cream cheese and cucumber and tomato on top!

I also love matzo. One of my close friends growing up is Jewish, (I was raised Catholic,) and his family thought it was hilarious that I like matzo so much so they always gave me whatever they had left.
I have deep respect for all the people who are staying through these trying times. If my city was surrounded by conflict zones, I'd have already left.
Milions left Ukraine and many of them were not even close to war zone ... but i get it ..
I’d be waiting for the military f**ks lol. Hate all the militaries/soldiers.
@@doposud How close you should be to have the label "being close to war"? Is hearing shooting from machine gun from street enough? No? Maybe having windows broken from blast wave? Or you should lost you entire house from missile attack? Or maybe lost some legs? Be in trench? Even is you don't have all of these, every ukrainian lives in fear of sudden missile attack that could happen every second. Everywhere. There is no safe place now. Every ukrainian lives in fear of loss of beloved ones. My friend left Ukraine and now in Poland.

These types of videos are what link and bind us as people. It was about food, tradition and family. These are things we all understand and love. Thank you for sharing this remarkable non-glamorous and non-celebrity-driven story! As we say in Hebrew, you have performed a Mitzvah (a good deed) by educating and sharing this with the world. As a Jew whose grandfather spent 18 mos at Auschwitz, I am truly grateful. I understand firsthand the persecution of people. Thank you!
I wasn't aware of the time constraints when making Matzo, this has been an education in several ways for me. Thank you.
The Soviets didn't let soldiers wear cross necklaces either. Lenin and Stalin were very anti-religious.
Indeed, time constraints is the MAIN issue
@@plonialmoni4232 haha, your name, most people don't even see the joke😂😂🤣🤣
With no yeast or baking powder, I cannot see how the flour can rise.
@@donaldkasper8346 There's yeast spores in the air. If you let flour and water sit long enough, then it the wild yeast and bacteria will leaven the mixture. That's how you make sourdough starter.

Thousand years nation? What nation exists more than 6 centuries? What the heck you are smoking, fan of the Third Reich?
My 4 yr old niece saw this video and says that your "tortillas" looked yummy. Childhood innocence is priceless. Keep up the good work.
Matzo was never banned in the Soviet Union, just the import of matzo from the US.
I'm not Jewish, but the good Matzo has a delicious flavor to it that just can't be beat! I'm very happy they were able to get the shipment rerouted to the UK, and I shall continue to pray they are able to keep working and stay safe.
What does it taste like? Is it a dryer bread??And is salt added?
@@sherrienale9974 The wheat taste is clear with a bit of a toasted flavor and ice always thought it made the whole thing very earthy. It's like a cracker really, so it's all about how you pair it. I've never had mine with salt, that's always something you add to it after the fact, because when you add the salt it represents the tears of the Jewish people.
It's all in the wording of the sadder meal. I've never been to one with my Jewish friends (my in state Jewish friends aren't very observant), but the ones I've been too have tried very hard to be as authentic as possible.
@@sherrienale9974 on its own the flavor gets boring just like with normal bread and in my opinion the best way to use it is to make soup dumplings out of it.
I just mix it with eggs, salt and pepper, boil it and add the balls to the soup.
If you add enough eggs then the dumplings are chewy like noodles and take in the flavor of the soup.
I don't think you would be able to recreate it with normal flour because the charred parts round up the flavor.
How can it have any flavor? Flavor was not allowed to develop. It's a quickie unleavened bread
What is the brand ? Do you know it ?
Amazingly, in Zhoucun of Shandong Province of China, there is a local delicacy almost identical to Matso. And history has it that the orgin of this Zhoucun traditional food dates all the way back to 200 BC in Han Dynasty when people from the 'west region' (middle east and central asia) brought it there
That is so cool
bread, being the staple food for so many cultures no doubt have some cross cultural similarities.
@@SkepticalChris Certainly. There are many different types of flat bread in many cultures, from naan to pita, but matzo is much more than flat bread. It’s religious and historically relevan for Jewish communities all over the world.
Chinese claim everything is theirs. They even claim they invented the English language and iPhone…
All it takes is wheat flour and water kneaded together, rolled flat, and tossed in a hot oven. It's not so surprising that people all around the world would independently hit upon a similar recipe.
Such courageous kind people . I hope this senseless war ends soon and they can live a peaceful life .
I swear the different types of ethnic/cultural/historic breads are amazing. I could watch this all day lol
Personally it has no religious significance to me but I like it.
I use the bread in several recipes.
[Texas, USA] I believe it's perfect bread to complement bitter greens and mutton and the unique content and texture of the fat.
I tend to use Collard greens. Spinach is pretty good but like Collard greens better.
Bacon obviously isn't Kosher but if that's a religious prohibition you feel strongly about substitute a pinch of Kosher salt and that will be really good in flavor.
For those of you celebrating Passover or Easter....
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and make great family memories.
I'm personally not religious so volunteer to work holidays so someone else doesn't have to.
Funny you mention how matzoh's a good compliment to bitter greens and mutton, because that's part of how it's used on Passover. A part of the meal involves topping matzoh with bitter herbs, charoset _(it's an apple or pear chunky paste with raisins, nuts, cinnamon and a splash of wine)_ and a bit of lamb if you want. It also makes for a nice hearty breakfast with eggs. Break it up, soak it in water until it's soft but not mushy, beat some eggs, let the eggs soak into the matzoh, then add salt and fry them with butter on the stove.
@@mattbrody3565 My sister in law is Jewish and when she and my brother were still living with us, they made this for a few Passovers and it was really good. They live in Wisconsin now, but hopefully I can join them for Passover again sometime.
First off, thank you for taking on extra work so the more religious people can celebrate the holiday.
I'm a first gen American from ukrainian Jews, and here are some recipes I remember as a kid:
For soup - bullion, or chicken broth soup, is just chicken, onion, carrot, herbs, salt, and water. Normally we eat it with mullen or other thin wheat noodles, but around passover we woule either make matza balls or just break up some matza into the soup. It's like adding croutons into a soup, very good.
Babka - there are multiple different styles, but the main 2 I remember were fried or "baked". The idea is that it's crushed up matza and eggs prepared like an omelette. You can either break the matza and soak it in the egg mix and fry it on a pan, or my preferred way is to soak one layer at a time and coat them onto an iron pot until it's about half the depth of the pot. You then cook it with a lid on on lowish heat, and when it's done you flip the pot over to get a dome-shaped cake thing. Slice it up, I highly recommend some horseradish, especially the pink beet one you find in Russian delis.
The passover school lunch - two matzas with cream cheese and some jam/preserves sandwiched between. My absolute go-to for the week's following passover as we work through the inevitable leftover matza (synagogues and family usually send matza each year, so we use the round ones for the holiday dinner and the square ones all other times).
It ain't bread.
@@b.o.4469 - It's unleavened bread.
Don't know why, but the man bouncing up and down makes me really happy!😄
Yeaah me too
Same here …
I am not Jewish, just a Church of England member. I wish this bakery in Ukraine the very best of luck and success. Matzah is a delicious and strangely filling bread. It’s very simple and the very opposite of ultra processed bread. Slava Ukraini.
I used to love eating this when I was younger didn’t know it had a tradition behind it just loved it! Found this very interesting gonna find me somewhen I go shopping next
I hope this war will end soon and we will back to normal life here in Ukraine. Send love to all people around the world. Support freedom everywhere, be kind with each other, and proud who you are. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Its outstanding to me that all bread makers show how much compassion and effort they put into their bread. It just shows how much effort they put into their recipes and its admiring.
The recipe is flower and water only
You’re easy to impress
@@romanz9342 guess so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I never knew about this until now, but I sure am glad I have now had the pleasure to now learn about this food, its history and how important it is to this region in Ukraine. I really should try some sometime...but for now it needs to go to those that need it most. Cool that some were still able to be shipped to the UK even after the invasion started. I'm in the UK so much appreciated.
Thank you to aaall of you and keep up the wonderful work.
Papad h ye
It’s called unleavened bread in English, if you’ve heard the story of the Exodus or the Last Supper, you’ve heard of it.
Enjoy some.
American jew here: I like how matzo tastes, but a lot of ppl find it bland. Also, eating too much of it tends to constipate, so be wary! Still worth trying, especially matzo ball soup! :)
@@xenotiic8356 Death to America, death to Israel.
Matzoh meal (ground up matzoh) works very well for breading if you want it to be crunchy. It was used by caterers for generations.
To clarify, The Soviet Union never banned Matzah, they banned the import of Matzah from the US because the US was the main opponent of the USSR in terms of global domination, so instead Jews just ordered Matzah from local Soviet-owned restaraunts and stores. Analogue with the way US banned Huawei of China, or ban everything that threat US industries.
Brings me back to being a child and playing hide the Matzo with my grandparents and winning a dollar every time I found it first. Im happy to see this and have it bring back memories.

I'm not Jewish but I do love it when people keep traditions going. I'm Portuguese living in Canada, so I understand how importance of tradition being in food, culture, or having a relationship with the community around you.

My parents lived near the original Streit's store on Rivington St...The smell of the freshly baked matzos were the best according to them.
An Ukrainian here. Maybe Matza (we call it that way) was banned during the Stalin era, but my mom's Jewish colleagues gave me Matza when I was a child in late 80-s, it wasn't banned back then
Matza is the Torah name for it. The same name we call it, here, in Israel.
For the religious is matzo
It’s clear there’s an agenda here.
How does it taste like?
In the late 80s there was already glasnost and perestroika
@@chimkinNuggz it tastes like a plain cracker. Some people like it, others don’t (I like it, and, in a strange phenomenon, Israeli Arabs or Israeli-Palestinians, really enjoy matza)
I wouldn’t suggest eating too much of it though- since it has practically no fiber, it can cause slight gastrointestinal issues.
I have never heard of this before but now I can't stop thinking about having some now!
I tried to make matzo once. I mixed flour and water, because I was trying to make seitan. I grew impatient with the dissolving of the starch and just threw it in the microwave to make matzo. It leavened. Now I know I need to be observant.
Even though I am not Jewish, I am 100% respectful for what they do and provide.
Me too until I saw the Israel flag hanging in their establishment. Can’t understand how you can support a country like that. They can go to hell.
Controlling the federal reserve, the mainstream media, and our governments?
I just bought some Streit's matzo, and then I saw this video. So funny! The kids loved it, this was the first time they had it. I think my grandma used to keep it around at her house, too. I mostly remember matzo ball soup, I still love that!
That's a nice video, well done.
Very interesting video! For anyone who cares, the Ukrainian city mentioned in this video - Dnipro - is pronounced with a /i:/ sound, as in "need" - /Dn-ee-pro/.
I've been curious about that, thank you!
I'm not Jewish but I grew up eating Matzo. I still love the stuff.
😂I love yoo, I love that comic and that part made me die when reading it
yeah I can eat them all year round I'm Lutheran. especially when they have the seasonings I'm like salt and onion
@@kevinverduci7600 The law for matzo comes from the Old Testament. Very relevant to Christians too, even though they don't follow it.
The burned spots are the best.
Just the other way round, with Jewish background, grew up eating Matzo regularly, have never understood the tasteless taste of Matzo 🤣
Michael sounds like he is the reason the quality is so good. It looks like the boss would be okay with it not being just right, but he can't question Mike's 33 years of experience.
I'd support businesses like this any day!!
Hi Aaron Gross
♥️🙏🏻from Me in Australia 🇦🇺 great to see you here
The reason that the 'matza shmura', translated as : preserved matza (the round one)
is soo much cared for is because they make sure VERY strickly that it doesnt stand more then 18 minutes, and is 'kosher' for passover.
The tradition comes from when the Israeli people were fleeting from egypt, they didn't have time to bake normal bread.
Great video!
Happy passover and easter :)
And most importantly, Slava ukraini!
thanks for all the info mate, really interesting stuff (:
we dont have a huge jewish community here in australia, although i have been to our Holocaust museum in Melbourne - and have visited the museum + Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin.
even as a non-religious person, Islam & Judaism have always been so fascinating to me. especially traditions with food!!!
PS if you are Ukrainian i hope youre safe mate
Matza Shmura actually translates as "guarded matza". It has this name because the wheat is guarded from contact with moisture from the time of harvest right until it is mixed for baking.

Very similar to Indian papad which has many spiced flavors. Mahzda is wheat based, similar to Chapati but thin as papad which can be stored.
This was a really cool video
They forgot to mention, the shelf life of thees matzos (without any preservatives) can easily last over a year.
My husband and I use it for communion. It's been several months and it's still good.
Definitely helps with no egg or milk in it.
Is Shop available now 😊?

There are machine made shmura Matzahs too. It's a factor of the flour being "guarded" not the fact that it's hand made.
Would have been nice if you had posted a link to their product.
That's awesome that they weren't even bothered by the war! Good for for them. Keep on keeping on.
Matzoh is a religious symbolic worship practice that goes back thousands of years
Unlike other food products which maybe were a convenience or a gimmick this means something which binds the identity of a people so it’s not going to die out past the third generation
It’s also a very storable adaptable product for non-worship services give me an example Jacobs cream crackers creating a biscuit for easy consumption is popular in the UK in the worldwide came from matzoh of Baker
And all those little carrs water crackers and knock offs or a similar type product
Wow. Massive respect to the machine operator who is on his 37th year of the job
Matzo Ball Soup the key isn't to smash it too tightly when placing it on wax paper before you throw them into the boiling soup water to cook them. They then become big & ( that why we don't smush em just lightly place them on the wax paper) then they become fluffy as clouds.
Where can I buy this?
Amazing family tradition. Long may they continue. Inspired me to buy some Matzo and appreciate its history. A wonderful educational short documentary.
I'm Christian from Germany but I see that this Matzo is very important for all the jewish out there in the world and it is amazing that the Ukraine still produce it even under pressure from the war there. Those guys are so strong people and one day my wish is to try one of those Matzos 💙💛
The law for Matzo is in the Old Testament, it applies to Christians and Jews. Maybe some don't follow it, but it certainly is in every old testament book in church!
Bible doesn't belong in America.... Same as the people who brought all that bs here. Yall should immigrate back to your holy lands and homelands if you want to make amends and not burn in hell forever. Take your tortillas with ya

Nice to see the old tradition still in action.
I live about two blocks from the old Manischevitz factory in Jersey City. The site is now a luxury apartment building. I suggested the building be called The Afikomen. No one listened.
i hadnt seen the round hand made matzo in years! (obviously its not in the mass market stores like the machine made) Bless and keep them, especially now.

I had great Matzos in Azerbaijan. It is a healthy bread and tastes great.
That pole technique for making the dough extremely thin is also used by Iranian nomads.
I'm not an observant but when I did an experience abroad in Australia, in the first period I had to spend less as possible on food, and this bread was really cheap. It was the first time that I saw it sold in a market, it's not available in my country.
I would love to try hand-made. I'm not a huge fan of the factory stuff. Thank you for your hard work and love for your fellow human!
Honestly it ain't that hard to make yourself. You probably even have all the ingredients sitting in a shelf somewhere.
We live in Ukraine and have for almost 7 years, and DID NOT know about this matzo bakery. Great to see the continuation of both a religious tradition and a family business, in spite of the illegal invasion by the Russian Federation. Slava Ukraini, Geroim Slava!
As a Christian, I love learning about Jewish culture and thrilled to hear this dish is doing well! I’ll have to talk to my family about trying some come Passover
I'm not Jewish but they used pieces of it during communion at the church I grew up in. I really liked the taste but the communion wafers were tiny pieces, tough to make a meal out of. So I found where they kept it in the church kitchen and ate a bunch every week when I was about 10 years old.
That's how I saw what the box it came in looked like, then started putting it in the cart when we went to the store.
That stuff is delicious, I haven't had any in years but will have to pick some up now the next time I go shopping. Watching this gave me a hankering for it.
awesome video! as a professional bread baker, ive been curious about matzoh for a long time. i learned a lot from watching this. thank you
Looks good. What do you eat it with?
Many people eat it with different things but I personally like it with some cream cheese, tomato and or cucumber.

We get it business insider, millions of Muslims in Ukraine with millions of businesses we have to ignore, and let's see only the jews businesses, I love how the media lies they lied about India and made it from a Muslim country to a Hindu country and now it seems the muslims in Ukraine have vanished, only God knows what's happening to muslims behind media cameras.
Bless my Ukrainian cousins who are keeping this tradition alive in the midst of war. I hope you and the factory stay safe.
I hope so to, Dnipro is a city of tough people.
Very well made
its important to keep old crafts , recipes, culture , languages and species alive preservation is one of the most important things no matter from where you are keep your culture alive !!! ...
I bought Streits organic matzo this year. Had it with Breakstones salted whipped butter today. Tomorrow I’ll make matzo brei.
Can I come over to your house for snacks??????
@@TheCatAteMyShoe sure come on over. I’m going to have leftover matzo brei with strawberry jam.
Jailed for litterally eating bread. That's just insanely depressing to think about.
Can i buy these? link to shop please xx
Six million matzos in 6 days? That's quite huge number.
I sometimes use Matzo (along with wraps and flatbread) as my homemade thin pizza base and I'm not Jewish.
