Liven up your pantry with a few special jars of somethin’-somethin’!

Hazelnut butters from White Heart step your toast up to a whole new level. Growing hazelnuts in Tai Tapu and batch roasting to perfection, White Heart have blended them with premium, organic and fair-trade ingredients for spreads such as Hazelnut and Cocoa, Hazelnut and Coconut and the delectable Hazelnut and Honey. Mandys Horseradish needs no introduction to local foodies; their authentic, old-fashioned and creamy horseradish sauce (with a kick!) has won awards and fans up and down the country, and is still produced traditionally. Cookbook author and foodie Shirley Bradstock started Shirley’s Kitchen selling her own version of delicious Italian confection panforte, but her range just keeps expanding; her spiced figs are must-tries. Good Honest bakery supply artisan bread, pastries, cakes and more to all the top eateries in town, and luckily they also have online ordering so you can have their fresh baked goods at home. And pop into taste@twenty to pick something up from their weekly changing pesto range – you could end up with parsley and walnut, sundried tomato and almond, or something else again. Their great homemade hummus and aioli are always available.
