The company Roka was founded in 1949 in Delft (the Netherlands) by Jo Roodenrijs. The name Roka comes from Jo’s family name, Roodenrijs, and Kastabletten, which means cheese crispies. Roka biscuits are sold in very attractive packaging that is inspired by the original tins from 1949 and the art of the famous Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan (1872–1944). Some people even think of the Dutch tulip fields when they see our yellow and blue boxes with the vivid colours. They all know that Roka cheese snacks have an excellent unique flavour and texture. The unique taste comes from the high percentage of real matured cheese that is used. The texture is really unique because every single biscuit is made from refined puff pastry, consisting of 90 layers (45 layers of dough and 45 layers of cheese). Our crispies are still baked according to the original recipe created in 1949.
