Its naturally creamy, buttery character makes it suitable for both sweet and savoury applications.
Kenari can be explored for:
✓ Snacks and nut products
✓ Bakery and baked goods
✓ Confectionery
✓ Ice cream and desserts
✓ Nut-based products
✓ Spreads and butter
✓ Flour-based applications
✓ Savoury foods
