East Forest Introduces Rosemary Kenari Nuts
Originally published: 2025 · Last updated: August 2026
East Forest has expanded its Kenari Nuts collection with Rosemary, a savory flavor combining Kenari with rosemary, garlic, sea salt and coconut oil.
The new product adds a distinctly savory profile to the East Forest collection while continuing the brand's approach of developing products around the natural character of Kenari.
Kenari Meets a New Flavor Profile
Kenari has a naturally soft texture and a creamy, buttery character.
These qualities give the nut a versatile base for different flavor directions.
With Rosemary, East Forest moves into a more savory profile.
The combination brings together:
Kenari
Rosemary
Garlic
Sea salt
Coconut oil
The result is designed to complement the nut rather than overwhelm it.
Inspired by NATURE
East Forest's product-development approach begins with Kenari and explores ingredients and flavor combinations that can create distinctive food experiences.
The collection already includes Indonesian-inspired ingredients such as arenga sugar, Balinese sea salt and Indonesian cacao.
Rosemary takes a different direction, introducing a familiar culinary herb to the Kenari experience.
The aim is to make Kenari accessible through flavors people can immediately understand while retaining the character that makes the nut different.
A New Way to Enjoy Kenari
Different flavor profiles can help consumers discover Kenari in different contexts.
A sweet product may position Kenari as an indulgent snack.
A savory product such as Rosemary can make it relevant to different occasions, from everyday snacking to serving alongside other foods.
This supports a broader objective for East Forest:
to demonstrate the versatility of Kenari.
Product Development Around the Nut
The development of Rosemary follows the same principle used across East Forest:
It starts with the nut.
The current East Forest positioning describes Kenari as naturally soft in texture and rich in character, with product development designed to preserve those qualities rather than hide them beneath heavy processing or overpowering flavors.
Rosemary is another expression of that philosophy.
Continuing the East Forest Collection
The introduction of Rosemary is part of East Forest's ongoing product-development process.
Kenari is still a relatively new ingredient to many international consumers, and continued product development provides different ways for people to discover it.
From simple expressions of the nut itself to sweet and savory flavor combinations, each product provides another entry point into the Kenari category.
