El Shamadan Kata-Kito chocolate bar

Kata-Kito is a popular chocolate-covered wafer bar produced by El Shamadan, one of Egypt's oldest and most iconic confectionery brands. The product is designed as a crisp wafer layered with cream and coated in milk chocolate, bearing a name and presentation that often invites comparison to international wafer brands while remaining a staple of the Egyptian domestic market.

The brand El Shamadan (which translates to 'The Candelabra') has been a household name in Egypt for decades. The products are manufactured locally in Egypt at El Shamadan's industrial facilities. While the brand is deeply rooted in Egyptian culture and has historical significance in the local food industry, it is now part of the diversified portfolio of the Corona company (Alexandria Confectionery & Chocolate Co.), another legendary entity in the Egyptian food sector. This ownership ensures that traditional Egyptian snacks continue to reach generations of consumers across the Middle East.
