Farkhondeh

Farkhondeh is an Iranian biscuit brand with manufacturing roots in Isfahan dating back to 1961. Abdollah Vaez Shoushtari began production in a workshop on Masjed Seyed Street under the name Astara. The Farkhondeh name was adopted in 1987/88, followed by the development of industrial production in Jey Industrial Zone. The brand’s products are manufactured by Esfahan Farkhondeh Food Industries.

Its portfolio includes biscuits for sharing and individual consumption, petit-beurre, flavored varieties, wholegrain and barley-based products, and sugar-free biscuits. Orange, coconut, saffron and cocoa varieties sit alongside developments such as the four-syrup, three-grain biscuit. Different pack sizes and formats support everyday snacking, entertaining and use as a base for desserts.

Farkhondeh’s development has centred on expanding manufacturing capabilities and product variety within the biscuit category. Its Isfahan factory serves as the principal production base, while sales representatives support domestic distribution. Exports have also formed part of the business’s development; the official company history records its initial shipments to Central Asian countries in 1996/97.

This specialization connects several distinct applications through a shared manufacturing discipline. A biscuit for serving with tea, a sugar-free variety and a dessert-base biscuit nevertheless meet different expectations. Crispness and flavor matter in direct consumption, while professional pastry applications also depend on how a biscuit crumbles and combines with other ingredients. These distinctions provide a useful basis for assessing the range beyond flavor and pack size alone.
