2. Royco Mchuzi Mix
From stews to vegetables, Royco is the secret behind that distinct Kenyan taste. Italians may have their pasta sauces, but nothing replaces the rich, homely flavor that Royco adds to a Kenyan dish.

Looking to give your pasta or nyama choma a Kenyan twist? Peptang Tomato Ketchup and sauces bring that bold, tangy flavor you remember. Perfect for fusion meals where Kenya meets Italy.
4. Kericho Gold Tea
Kenya is famous for its tea, and with good reason. Kericho Gold offers a strong, refreshing brew that beats anything you’ll find in a supermarket aisle in Italy. Best enjoyed with mandazi or toast, just like back home.
5. Chai Bora
If you love variety, Chai Bora gives you flavorful blends of spiced and black tea. Imagine sipping a hot cup on a chilly Italian morning—the perfect taste of home in a new land.
6. Kenyan Coffee
Kenya is globally celebrated for its rich Arabica coffee. From the slopes of Mt. Kenya to your Italian espresso machine, Kenyan coffee delivers unmatched aroma and flavor.
7. Nduma (Arrowroots) & Sweet Potatoes
A true taste of childhood mornings. Whether boiled or fried, nduma and sweet potatoes are healthy Kenyan staples you can now find abroad. They’re perfect for breakfast or a light snack with tea.
8. Chevda & Roasted Peanuts
No snack aisle in Italy can compete with Kenyan chevda or roasted njugu karanga. These crunchy bites instantly transport you back to bus rides, movie nights, and family gatherings in Kenya.
9. Kenyan Biscuits & Sweets
From Britania biscuits to kashata and toffees, Kenyan treats are all about nostalgia. They may look simple, but the taste reminds you of childhood tea breaks and tucking snacks into school bags.
