Kataifi Pastry – 375g Single Pack
Premium Frozen String Pastry for Home and Café Creations
Narenj Group is proud to offer our Kataifi Pastry in a convenient 375g single pack, sized perfectly for home cooks, artisan bakers, and small‑scale food businesses. This pack contains just the right amount of finely shredded string pastry to create one large kunafa, a batch of baklava, or multiple savory appetizers—without the need to manage large bulk quantities.
The Art of Kataifi
Kataifi is a centuries‑old pastry cherished across the Middle East, Greece, and Turkey. Its unique form—thin strands of dough lightly coated in ghee—sets it apart from traditional phyllo. This texture allows you to shape, twist, and layer the pastry with ease, creating intricate designs that crisp beautifully in the oven or fryer. The result is a light, crunchy exterior that pairs perfectly with creamy, nutty, or syrupy fillings.
Quality Ingredients for Authentic Taste
Our Kataifi is crafted using only essential ingredients:
-
Water, wheat flour, ghee, sugar syrup, salt, and sodium metabisulphite.
Contains wheat and gluten.
The inclusion of ghee and sugar syrup not only enhances flavor but also contributes to the pastry’s signature golden color and delicate crispness. We avoid artificial additives, keeping the taste authentic and clean.
Versatile Culinary Uses
The 375g pack is ideal for a wide range of recipes:
-
Traditional Kunafa: Layer the Kataifi with unsalted cheese or a nut mixture, bake until golden, and drizzle with a fragrant syrup.
-
Baklava with a Twist: Use the strands instead of phyllo sheets for a unique texture and presentation.
-
Savory Nests: Shape the strands into small nests, fill with seasoned vegetables, cheese, or minced meat, then bake until crispy.
-
Dessert Toppings: Toast the strands and use them as a crunchy garnish over puddings, ice cream, or mousse.
Storage & Handling for Perfect Results
To ensure your Kataifi turns out perfectly every time, follow these guidelines:
-
Thaw Properly: Keep frozen at or below -18°C. When ready to use, leave the package sealed at room temperature for a minimum of 2 hours, or thaw in the refrigerator overnight. The strands should feel soft and pliable.
-
Prepare in Advance: Have your fillings, pans, and tools ready before opening the package. Kataifi can dry out quickly when exposed to air.
-
Loosen Gently: Remove the bundle from its packaging and gently separate the strands with your fingertips. Avoid compressing or tearing them.
-
Prevent Drying: If you are not using the entire pack at once, cover the remaining pastry with a dry tea towel while you work.
-
Store Unused Portion: Roll any leftover Kataifi back into a bundle, seal tightly in its original packaging or an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator. Do not refreeze after thawing, as this compromises texture and crispness.
Professional Tips for Best Results
-
For an extra‑crispy finish, lightly brush the formed pastry with melted butter or ghee before baking.
-
When making kunafa, press the pastry firmly into the pan to create a compact base that holds together after baking.
-
If frying nests or rolls, use oil at 170–180°C to achieve even browning without burning.
