Our Story
We are happy to present to you the fruit of the loving creativity, years of
hard work and the life-long passion for good food by one of the pioneering
and legendary bakers of Kerala, K K Kunju of SAC Bakers, Kanjirappally.
JamRolls are the flag ship product of the heritage family bakery opened by
the master baker way back in 1931. Kunju or Kunju Ashan as he came to be
fondly known was born in Thrissur. He had his training in baking at Kandy,
Ceylon under expert British bakers of the time.. He moved to Madras and was
with the Bossotto bakery, then a landmark in the city.
The early years of the 1930s saw the growth of British owned plantations in
the high ranges of Central Travancore and sensing a good business
opportunity Kunju opened his own baking unit and retail outlet at
Kanjirappally. Soon he saw a sweet opportunity in pineapple which had
started to be grown locally in Travancore. Kunju was famous for his Swiss
Rolls in Ceylon and Madras . But in Kerala he worked on a unique recipe
using pineapple to produce what you are tasting now , the one and only
Kunju's JamRolls, which gained the status of the trade mark of the thriving
SAC Bakers , Kanjirappally though he also hand crafted delectable Lemon
Pastes, special cakes and cookies.
We are sure you will enjoy these products from the heritage family baking
house of Kunju whose high reputation and traditional recipes way at the age
of 94.
