About Kiri
Kiri is a mild cream cheese portion aimed at children, launched in 1966 and enormously popular in the Middle East and Asia, where it is often eaten with bread at breakfast rather than as a snack. Bel Group owns it, and the Middle East is now a larger market for the brand than its home country.
