Close your eyes and imagine a honey crème liqueur with the maltiness of West Coast’s native forests. Drooling yet?
Summer calls for socialising and charcuterie board platters. Show your foodie skills with New Zealand-made products that make a scrumptious addition to alfresco dining, as well as the perfect gifts for those hard to buy for people in our lives.
“We specialise in homegrown products and gifts, like mead, liqueurs, and New Zealand art,” says owner Andrew Plimmer from Colony at The Crossing. This Christmas, Plimmer suggests their Bees Nees Crème Liqueur, a top seller born from the beauty of West Coast honey.
With a history of retailing in New Zealand dating back to 1868, the team at Colony are experts at helping you find the perfect addition to your Christmas platter, or a gift for your family member who has it all.
For those hosting Christmas celebrations and family barbecues this summer, Rob’s Heritage Range Country Honey and Apricot Spread goes well with a classic cheese and cracker platter. Pair it with a bottle of Lovers Mead, a semi-sweet, old-school favourite. Head into Colony at The Crossing on Cashel Street, Christchurch, and check out their range of New Zealand made products, perfect for the holiday season.
