Fats and oils
Always present in the kitchen, their careful and skillful combination is one of the secrets of the extraordinary variety of taste experiences of our treats.
Kinder selection
Our experts carefully study this equilibrium when creating our recipes and investigate the best way to combine the various properties of different fats to make our fillings extra creamy for some products, or to create crisp and crunchy products . At Ferrero India, fats are freshly deodourized in house by own deodourization processes to maintain freshness and avoid any development of contaminants
These careful combinations are also effective in blending our ingredients and their flavours together and so create the taste we are looking for. The delicate touch of a fat can enhance the taste of other ingredients, making the whole experience more refined for our palate. The goal behind all this patient work is simple: achieving that perfect harmony between texture and taste, that is so dear to those who love our recipes.
Sunflower oil
Sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the Helianthus annus, better known as sunflower, native of American continent and now largely widespread around the world. The oil extracted from sunflowers seeds is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic and linoleic.
The product in India contains sunflower oil in Kinder Joy.
Refined Sal Seed Oil
Shorea robusta is a plant also known as sal or salwood, a forest tree native and widespread in India. From its seeds is possible to obtain an oil that is suitable for food consumption.
After the harvest, seeds are treated by separating of the inedible part (shell) from the edible one (kernel). The kernel is then ground, extracting the fat part, that is transformed into refined sal seed oil. This raw material is used in Kinder Joy .
Sal plants have a strong social value, since their harvest involves local populations, representing an important income source.
