Homely Kerala snacks served on a banana leaf

Why In-House Manufacturing Makes a Difference in Every Snack

Why In-House Manufacturing Makes a Difference in Every Snack

Kerala snacks are more than just food — they’re a reflection of tradition, care, and the joy of sharing. But not all snacks are made the same way.
When snacks are mass-produced by third parties, quality can slip, freshness can fade, and authenticity can be lost.

At Ailam, we make every snack in-house, the way it should be — using our own pure coconut oil and recipes handed down through generations.


Authentic Flavour in Every Bite

By controlling production ourselves, we make sure each batch tastes just like the ones made in Kerala homes. There’s no compromise on ingredients, no cheap shortcuts — just traditional recipes and premium raw materials.

Whether it’s banana chips, pakkavada, or mullu murukku, the spices are blended in-house, and every fry happens in fresh, smoke-free coconut oil we make ourselves.


Freshness You Can Taste

In-house production means we make snacks in smaller, more frequent batches. This way, the crunch and aroma are at their peak when they reach you — not weeks later after sitting in warehouses.


Complete Quality Control

From peeling bananas to sealing the packet, every step happens under our roof. That means:

  • Hygiene you can trust

  • Consistent size, texture, and flavour in every packet

  • No stale stock — everything is made to order or in small runs


Supporting Local Skills & Jobs

Making snacks in-house allows us to employ local artisans who have perfected these recipes over decades. It’s not just business — it’s a way to keep Kerala’s snack-making heritage alive.


The Ailam Difference

When you open a packet of Ailam snacks, you’re getting more than something to munch on — you’re tasting a tradition made with skill, care, and complete control over quality.

That’s why we say: Snacks this good can only come from a kitchen that cares.
