Ghee AL-KAWAKEB

AL-KAWAKEB Ghee — Authentic Palestinian Ghee Since 1953

AL-KAWAKEB Ghee is a legendary Palestinian ghee that has been trusted by families and bakeries since 1953. Made in the historic city of Nablus by the renowned Al Ghazal company, this golden ghee captures the essence of Palestinian culinary tradition. Known for its smooth texture, deep yellow hue, and distinct aroma, it remains the top choice for creating authentic Middle Eastern sweets like Kunafa (Knafeh / Kanafa) and Baklawa. Now proudly imported by WATANY Palestinian Products, this traditional ghee is available across Canada, bringing a taste of heritage and authenticity to your kitchen.

Crafted for Middle Eastern Sweets

When making desserts such as Kunafa and Baklawa, the choice of ghee determines the final taste, aroma, and texture. AL-KAWAKEB Ghee is specially formulated for sweets, offering a perfectly balanced flavor that enhances golden crusts and buttery layers. It gives pastries a light crispness while infusing them with the warm, comforting scent that defines authentic Palestinian and Levantine desserts. Whether for home cooking or professional pastry-making, this Middle Eastern ghee guarantees a rich, traditional result every time.

Pure Ingredients and Superior Quality

Made exclusively from 100 % refined pure palm oil, AL-KAWAKEB Ghee is completely free from animal fats, preservatives, or hydrogenated oils. It’s a clean-label product ideal for vegetarians and health-conscious households. The refining process ensures purity, stability, and a high smoke point, making it suitable not just for baking but also for frying, sautéing, and roasting. Its consistency stays smooth and creamy, even after repeated use.

Natural Color and Added Nutritional Value

The ghee’s rich golden-yellow color comes naturally from Beta-Carotene — a plant-based antioxidant that adds both nutritional and visual appeal. It is also fortified with essential vitamins for daily wellness:

• Vitamin A (24 L.U./g): Supports healthy vision, skin, and immune function.
• Vitamin D3: Helps maintain strong bones and improves calcium absorption.

This fortification makes AL-KAWAKEB Ghee not only delicious but also nutritionally beneficial for families seeking healthier cooking fats without sacrificing authentic taste.

A Proud Palestinian Legacy

Produced in Nablus, a city deeply connected to Palestine’s food culture, AL-KAWAKEB Ghee is a testament to quality, heritage, and craftsmanship. Since 1953, the Al Ghazal brand has been known for setting the standard in Palestinian ghee production, ensuring that every tin carries the same level of purity and excellence. Through WATANY Palestinian Products, this ghee is now available to homes and bakeries in Canada and the USA, connecting generations of Palestinians and Middle Eastern food lovers to their culinary roots.

Perfect for Every Kitchen

Although most famous for sweet baking, AL-KAWAKEB Ghee is a versatile kitchen essential suitable for both sweet and savory recipes:

• Kunafa & Baklawa: Creates a rich golden crust with an authentic Palestinian aroma.
• Rice & Grains: Adds smoothness, depth, and subtle flavor to cooked rice or bulgur.
