Pineapple balls, kuih bangkit and almond cookies still hold the centre of the New Year table. Around them, the jars have been changing: nuts, chocolate, coffee and tea now sit beside the traditional flavours. This year four new jars join our range.
Pistachio, two ways
Pistachio has become a regular in the New Year line-up. Pistachio Tarts, new this year, are little tarts crowned with chopped pistachio on a crumbling base. Pistachio Cashew puts roasted pistachio and cashew in a short, buttery crumb: more nut than biscuit.
Two new chocolate jars
Hazelnut Chocolate is hazelnut first, then chocolate, in a crisp butter cookie, and a likely favourite with the children. Dark Chocolate is deep and slightly bitter, for the guest who usually passes on festive cookies.
Coffee and tea
Café flavours have found their way onto the New Year table. Coffee Butter pairs dark-roast coffee with good butter, made for the afternoon cup. Matcha White Chocolate has Japanese matcha with white chocolate melting through it.
Butter, kept simple
Salted Butter, also new, is piped butter swirls that melt rather than crunch, with just enough salt.
The classics stay
The new flavours sit beside the old ones rather than replacing them. Golden Pineapple Ball is pineapple jam in a butter shell that crumbles at the first bite, and Cranberry Pineapple Ball adds a tart edge of cranberry. Kuih Bangkit is coconut milk and tapioca, crisp for a second and then gone. Melting Almond is roasted almond, tender enough to collapse on the tongue, and Cereal Potato has a crisp cereal outside, a soft centre and a faintly savoury finish.
Mixing a gift bag
Our red felt gift bag holds four Regular jars, six Petite, or two of each. For four jars, try one classic, one nut, one chocolate and one coffee or tea, so every guest at the table finds something they like.
Every jar is halal certified and made with New Zealand butter, with no added preservatives. Chinese New Year deliveries run from 15 January to 4 February 2027. See the New Year collection.
