Crunchy Box

Kataifi is a finely shredded frozen pastry that brings authentic texture and versatility to both sweet and savory dishes. Its delicate strands are easy to work with—wrap, roll, or shape them to create everything from traditional kunafa to innovative appetizers. When baked or fried, Kataifi turns golden and wonderfully crisp. Our Kataifi is made with simple ingredients: water, flour, ghee, sugar syrup, and salt. Available in convenient sizes: a 65g multi‑serve pack (ideal for recipe testing or portion control) and a 375g single pack (perfect for home bakers and small cafes). For best results, allow the pastry to reach room temperature in its packaging before use (minimum 2 hours). Handle gently, keep covered with a dry tea towel to prevent drying, and store unused portions tightly sealed in the refrigerator. Keep frozen at -18°C; do not refreeze after thawing.

Premium Kataifi Pastry – Frozen String Pastry
Authentic, Versatile, and Easy to Use

Narenj Group proudly presents our signature Kataifi pastry—a finely shredded, frozen string pastry that has been a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern kitchens for centuries. Whether you are a professional chef in a bustling restaurant, a pastry artist crafting delicate desserts, or a home cook exploring new flavors, our Kataifi delivers consistent quality and exceptional results.

What is Kataifi?
Kataifi is a unique form of pastry made from thin strands of dough that are lightly coated with ghee. Unlike traditional phyllo, which comes in sheets, Kataifi’s string‑like texture allows for endless creativity. You can wrap it around nuts and cheese, layer it in pans for kunafa, or shape it into nests for appetizers. When baked or fried, the strands become irresistibly golden and crisp, creating a delightful contrast with creamy or syrupy fillings.

Product Specifications
Our Kataifi is available in two convenient formats:

  • 65g Multi‑Serve Pack: Contains approximately 5.8 servings per package (total net weight ~377g). Ideal for recipe development, small catering jobs, or when you need precise portion control.

  • 375g Single Pack: A compact, all‑in‑one package perfect for home bakers, cafes, and smaller kitchens. One pack gives you just the right amount for a large kunafa or multiple appetizers.

Both packs are made from the same high‑quality ingredients:
Water, wheat flour, ghee, sugar syrup, salt, and sodium metabisulphite.
Contains wheat and gluten. Our recipe is carefully balanced to ensure the strands remain soft and pliable after thawing, yet crisp beautifully when cooked.

Storage & Handling for Best Results
To achieve the perfect texture, follow these simple guidelines:

  • Thaw Properly: Keep the Kataifi frozen at or below -18°C until ready to use. For best results, thaw in the refrigerator or leave it in its packaging at room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours. This allows the strands to become soft and easy to separate.

  • Prepare Before Unwrapping: Have all your other ingredients ready before you open the package. Kataifi can dry out quickly once exposed to air.

  • Loosen Gently: After removing from the packaging, open the bundle and gently separate the strands with your fingers. Avoid pressing too hard to preserve the delicate texture.

  • Prevent Drying: Work quickly. If you need to pause, cover the pastry with a dry tea towel to retain moisture.

  • Store Unused Portions: Roll any leftover Kataifi back into a bundle, seal tightly in its original packaging or an airtight bag, and store in the refrigerator. Do not refreeze after thawing.

Culinary Inspiration
Kataifi’s versatility shines in both sweet and savory applications.

  • Sweet: Layer it with nuts and soak in aromatic syrup for traditional kunafa or baklava. Use it as a crispy topping for creamy desserts like muhallabia.

  • Savory: Wrap the strands around shrimp, halloumi, or spiced minced meat to create elegant finger foods. Bake until golden and serve with a dipping sauce.

Because the pastry is already infused with ghee, it requires minimal additional fat during cooking, allowing the natural flavors of your fillings to stand out.
