Pirouline cookies have a rich history rooted in European tradition and craftsmanship. The story begins with the DeBeukelaer family, renowned bakers from Belgium, who started their baking legacy in 1860. For over a century, they specialized in creating fine pastries and baked goods.

Pirouline combines European baking expertise with American innovation, resulting in a product that has become a beloved treat worldwide. Available in various flavors like Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Chocolate Fudge, Pirouline continues to bring a touch of elegance to any occasion.
