Company Products

J. Kahan is responsible for producing some of Israel’s most popular food products. Among them are iced coffee beverages, both hot and cold, originally developed by the company and now sold in most major coffee chains across Israel — representing a significant portion of the company’s offerings. In 2020, the company launched new products in the Asian sauce segment, developed in collaboration with Israel’s top culinary chefs. Since then, production has expanded to include stir-fry sauces, salad dressings, and finishing sauces.

The company places strong emphasis on the development of health-conscious products made with natural ingredients and no added sugar. As part of this focus, J. Kahan expanded into the FoodTech and healthy food sectors. In 2023, the company introduced a line of innovative sugar-free health products, including a 100% natural coffee infusion beverage developed over a year in collaboration with the Israel Innovation Authority. Additional launches included 99% fruit-based natural sorbet with no added sugar, and a series of reduced sugar and low-fat products aligned with new market regulations in Israel.
J.Kahan also develops and manufactures health products with high nutritional value and vegan-friendly solutions.

Furthermore, the company offers a wide array of blends and powders for hot and cold beverages, baking and dessert flour mixes (e.g., Belgian waffles, crepes, pancakes), ice cream mixes, savory seasoning blends such as soups, gourmet spreads for baking and filling, gelato pastes, Asian-style sauces, sweet coatings, beverage and cocktail syrups, fillings, jams, and tea extracts. These products serve as raw materials for leading food manufacturers in Israel, as well as finished goods sold in retail chains. The company’s products can be found in coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, bakeries, and patisseries. All products are available with high-level kosher certifications, including supervision by the Jerusalem Badatz (Edah HaChareidis), and kosher certifications tailored for the American Jewish market.

International Expansion

The company continues to strengthen its presence in global markets. It recently launched a premium line of sauces in the United States, developed in collaboration with leading chefs from Israel and abroad. In parallel, the company has initiated strategic partnerships with trading firms in the United Arab Emirates to market and produce its products in the Gulf countries and key Eastern markets.
