1. Roasted & Shredded Knafeh (Kataifi)
Knafeh is a unique shredded phyllo dough that gives your desserts a crisp, flaky texture. It’s perfect for layering, wrapping, or baking to create a light, crunchy base or topping for any dessert. We offer Roasted & Shredded Knafeh/Kataifi in an 11lb case, perfect for creating the signature crispiness in your summer-inspired Dubai desserts.
2. Pistachio Cream
Rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor, pistachio cream is a fantastic addition to any dessert, providing both texture and flavor. Whether you’re making bars, cakes, or ice cream, this luxurious cream adds the perfect pistachio punch. Our Pistachio Cream 22% comes in a convenient 11lb bucket, ready to elevate your desserts.
