Beginning

"Budmo Zdorovi" is a family company that in 2016 launched the cookies "Smakuli". The founder and inspirer of which is Ruslana Rymarska. The bakery was created after the family needed a gluten-free diet, hence they decided to bake delicious and nutritious gluten-free cookies. First for their own children, and later for everyone who was without this simple pleasure due to food intolerance or allergy to gluten or lactose.

 

It is no coincidence that Ruslana, an economist by education, started a business related to baking. She inherited a book with family recipes from her grandmother Maria, who used to bake and create delicious sweets. It was her grandmother who taught Ruslana to do everything with pleasure and to give pleasure to others. She showed by her example how to love and take care of loved ones. Currently, the range of Smakuli brand includes products that are created according to the grandmother's recipes, with the help of technologists, and nutritionists, while using  authentic Ukrainian ingredients.

Our story

The family is actively involved in the company's activities: Ruslana's mother Nadiia coordinates production, and her father—logistics and technical support of production and distribution. The name of the brand was invented by children who misread the text on the label. Instead of “Smakuy bez glutenu”—” Smakuli bez glutenu”.

 

“Budmo Zdorovi” in 2016 became the first Ukrainian manufacturer of sweets without gluten and lactose with additional benefits: nuts, dried fruits and natural Belgian chocolate. The company's production facilities are certified according to the international standard FSSC 22000 and AOECS, where only gluten-free products are produced.

 

All suppliers, mostly Ukrainian farmers, are carefully selected and are regular partners of Budmo Zdorovi. No trans fats or other synthetic additives and flavor enhancers are used in the production. Thanks to such products, people with food intolerance or allergies can enjoy sweet cookies with pleasure and without harm to their health.

 

The company's R&D department is constantly working on creating new products, testing recipes, experimenting with flavors in order to create products that will have high nutritional value and functionality for human health. This is how a line of products appeared that help to support human immunity, increase energy, reduce stress or improve digestion.
