Kataifi som det skal smage - frisk, håndlavet og uden kompromis

Our kataifi dough is more than just a product – it is a craft with roots in Syria and a future in Sweden. Fresh, handmade, and free from preservatives, it is created for those who seek authentic taste and quality. With every thread, we carry on a tradition and elevate it to a new level.

Our kataifi dough – a living craft with roots in tradition

Kataifi, or kunafa dough, is one of the most characteristic and beloved components of the oriental dessert cuisine. The fine-threaded dough is used in everything from crispy desserts to creamy pastries and has carried with it a taste of home, celebration, and care for generations.

At Al Badr Kunafa, we have taken this ancient tradition and woven our own story into every thread.

A dough with history

The kataifi dough has its origins in the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean, where it has been used for centuries to create elegant, intricately detailed desserts. From Damascus to Cairo, from Beirut to Istanbul – everywhere it has been a symbol of finesse and pride. It is not just a pastry – it is a culture.

We have carried this heritage from Syria to Sweden. Not just the technique, but the respect. Not just the form, but the soul.

An answer to something that was missing

When we arrived in Sweden after the horrors of war, we quickly discovered that there was a demand for kataifi – but not for the one we knew. What was available in stores was far from the dough we used to work with. It was tired, heavy, anonymous. Imported, stored, lost.

We wanted to do something different. Something alive. We wanted to show how kataifi can taste – when made with love, knowledge, and respect for the ingredients.

That’s why our kataifi dough is different

Many sell kataifi, but few truly understand what it takes to make it good. For us, it is not a sideline – it is the core of our business. Our dough is created in Sweden, but with a heart from Homs. It is the result of decades of experience, refined with every batch we produce.

We work on a small scale, with attention to every detail. It is not factory production – it is a craft. A living product that breathes freshness, precision, and pride. And it shows – in the taste, in the texture, in the result.

For those who refuse to compromise

Our kataifi dough is chosen by restaurants, patisseries, and home bakers looking for that little extra. Those who know that quality starts at the foundation. Those who want to work with a product that responds to their hands – not works against them.

It’s not about being the biggest. It’s about being the best at what you do. And we make kataifi.

A craft that carries a story

When you choose our dough, you are not just choosing a product. You are choosing a heritage that has survived war, loss, and restart. You are choosing a family business that has built something from nothing – with the same hands that once baked in Homs, we now bake in Skåne.

You choose a promise of authenticity, craftsmanship, and flavor.

That is what sets us apart from the rest.
