Flathau's Fine Foods is a woman owned cookie manufacturer based in Petal, MS. One summer's day in 1994, Jeff Flathau came home from work to find his wife, Heather Flathau, making what later became our award winning Peppermint Shortbread Cookies. After that day, Jeff began to sell them as a dessert item for his catering business. Customer after customer would ask where they could buy those cookies and so Heather and Jeff began Flathau's Fine Foods to provide them to the larger public. After 25+ years of business Flathau's Fine Foods has grown to sell to every state in the US and other countries, adding 6 other shortbread flavors, cheese straws, chocolate covered oreos, and pecan turtles!
