Project · South Korea
Since 2024 we have supplied high quality kataifi dough to restaurants and gourmet food stores in South Korea, where chefs wrap it around fish, mushrooms, cheese, shrimp and asparagus.

The idea
South Korean diners love new textures and premium starters. Kataifi gives them both. A crisp golden coat that shatters at the first bite, around a filling that changes with the season and the chef.
The goal of the project is to introduce and popularise gourmet kataifi rolls across the country, for upscale restaurants and gourmet food stores alike.
Inside the roll
And more. Every kitchen finds its own signature roll.
How we supply
One reliable ingredient, delivered across the world to Korean kitchens.
Fine, even kataifi strands, made the way we have made them since 2000.
Packed and frozen to lock in freshness for the long trip to South Korea.
Upscale restaurants and gourmet food producers wrap it around their fillings.
Golden kataifi rolls on menus and in gourmet food store chillers.
Where you find them
Two channels, one ingredient.
Chefs serve kataifi rolls as premium appetisers, with fillings that change with the season and the menu.
Ready-made kataifi rolls bring something new to the premium food aisle.
In a separate project, Korean partners created kataifi cookies and nests. Read their story →
