a box from home.

/kar-TOH-na/ · A cardboard box

Before the flight back, someone always packs a box. Bread, sweets, spices. A little too much of everything. Wrapped twice. Taped shut. Filled with love.

That’s a kartona. And that’s where our story begins.

We’re bringing the everyday food of the Middle East to kitchens across America. Starting with Egypt, and the makers who know it best. Staples, not souvenirs.

THE WAY FORWARD

From their hands.
To your shelves.
To everyone’s table.

Kartona & Co. is where East feeds West. We connect food makers with a new market, without losing what makes their food worth sharing.

Egypt first. Roots always.

We begin with makers we know and food people actually eat. Going deep before we go wide.

One market. Done well.

Starting in South Florida with neighborhood grocers and restaurants. Building relationships and repeat buyers.

Everyday. For everyone.

Our ambition is a place in every kitchen in America. From the bread aisle to the snack shelf.

THERE’S ROOM AT THE TABLE.

Let’s unpack something good.

For makers, retailers, and partners with a shared appetite.
