Dori Pettiz Japanese Peanuts

Dori Pettiz is a popular line of Japanese-style peanuts, which are characterized by a crunchy, flour-based shell seasoned with soy sauce. Despite the name 'Japanese Peanuts', this specific snack style was actually popularized in Mexico and Brazil. Dori Alimentos, the brand behind Pettiz, is one of Brazil's largest and most established snack and confectionery manufacturers, known for a wide variety of candies, gummies, and nut products.

Historically a family-founded Brazilian enterprise, Dori Alimentos underwent a significant ownership change recently. In late 2023, the global confectionery giant Ferrara Candy Company, a subsidiary of the Ferrero Group, completed the acquisition of Dori Alimentos. This move has integrated the Brazilian brand into one of the world's largest chocolate and confectionery networks, although the manufacturing operations remain centered in Brazil to serve both domestic and international South American markets.
