Dakatine Peanut Butter

Dakatine is an iconic French brand specializing in peanut paste, locally known as 'pâte d'arachide'. Founded in 1952 in Strasbourg, France, by the Grands Moulins de Strasbourg, the brand was created to offer a high-protein food source during the post-war era. Its historical name 'Dakatine' is derived from a shortened form of 'Dakar Tartine', reflecting its strong historical and commercial ties with West Africa, particularly Senegal, where it remains a cultural staple for dishes like Mafé.

Today, the product is still manufactured in France, adhering to traditional roasting and grinding processes. The brand is currently owned by the French company Nutriset Group, specifically through its subsidiary Valia. Nutriset is known for its commitment to nutritional solutions and food security, maintaining the heritage of this classic blue-and-red tin while expanding its use in both sweet and savory international cuisines.
