From 12 months onward, your little foodie is ready to explore a wider variety of foods, and these soft and savory maki rolls are perfect for stimulating their taste buds while providing a fun feeding experience.

Why is this dish ideal for your baby?

Varied Textures : This dish offers a mix of textures, from the softness of fresh cheese to the melting sweetness of melon and the delicate fleshiness of figs. This combination encourages fine motor skills and helps your baby become accustomed to handling and chewing foods of different consistencies.

Subtle and Mild Flavors : Melon and fig provide a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with the freshness of the cream cheese. This harmonious blend of flavors is ideal for introducing sweet and savory tastes, stimulating your baby's palate and helping them develop a taste for a variety of foods.
