FAQ

1. What is Shmurah Matzah? How is it different from regular Matzah?
Shmurah Matzah means Matzah that has been guarded. For Matzah to be considered Kosher for Passover,” it must be entirely free of leaven, meaning the dough is not allowed to rise at all before baking! To make sure no pre-bakin’ shakin’ goes on, the flour and the water – the sole ingredients of Matzah – are carefully guarded from before harvest and before drawing respectively and kept far away from each other.

2. How will my order be shipped?
Depending on your region and the size of your order, Matzah.biz will ship with UPS, FedEx, DHL or a reliable private trucking company. However it gets there, it will be fast and it will be fresh – and that’s what really counts!

3. Is there a minimum amount to each order?
Yes, since we are a wholesale distributor, all orders must reach a minimum of $500 before shipping costs. For smaller orders, you can visit www.MatzahOnline.com
