The empanada is going global
Once closely associated with Latin America, empanadas are now appearing in frozen retail, cafés, restaurants, catering, breakfast menus and grab-and-go outlets around the world.
Their appeal is simple: a crisp pastry shell, generous filling and a format that works as a snack, meal or appetizer.
At JONDAY Foods, we believe South Africa is ready for the next chapter of the empanada.
