FAQs

What is the flavour profile of this chutney?

This chutney offers a rich tomato base with sweetness and acidity, enhanced by the mild peppery kick of horopito, a native NZ herb. It balances savoury, sweet, and a little spice.

What is Horopito and why does it matter?

Horopito (Pseudowintera colorata) is a native New Zealand plant traditionally used in Māori rongoā (traditional medicine). It gives a mild peppery flavour, and contributes a distinctive herbal edge to the chutney, making it more interesting than a standard tomato condiment.

How big is the jar / how many jars in a pack?

The chutney comes in a 200 g glass jar for single purchase. There is also a 6-pack option available on Atutahi’s site.

What are the main uses for this chutney?

It’s very versatile. Here are ideas: As a topping for pizzas, roast or BBQ meats. With potatoes — mashed, roasted, baked, or fries. On savoury platters or cheese boards. Mixed into sauces or dips to add a flavour lift.

Is it made from natural ingredients, and where is it produced?

Yes, it’s made entirely from natural ingredients, with no artificial colours or flavours. It’s produced in Nelson (Whakatū), New Zealand.

Any allergen or dietary considerations?

The product page doesn’t explicitly list major allergens, but because it’s a tomato-based chutney with horopito, you’ll want to check for things like onion, garlic, or spices if you have sensitivities. If very strict dietary restrictions exist (e.g. certain spice sensitivities), checking the latest label or contacting Atutahi directly is wise.

Storage and shelf life: How should I store it once opened?

Before opening: keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened: refrigerate, and consume within a reasonable time (a few weeks) to enjoy the best flavour and freshness.

What’s the price, and does the 6-pack offer good value?

Single jar (200 g) is typically around NZ$10.95 from retailers. The 6-pack is priced at NZ$60 in Atutahi’s shop. If you use chutney regularly or want it for hosting, the 6-pack gives convenience and value.

How spicy is this chutney? Will it overwhelm?

It’s mildly peppery — thanks to horopito — but not overwhelming. It’s designed to add a flavour lift, not to dominate. If you’re more sensitive to spice, a small amount might be best to start until you’re familiar with its peppery kick.

Can I use this in cooking, or is it just a condiment?

Definitely usable in cooking. You can stir it into sauces, use it as a glaze or finish, mix with marinades, or incorporate into stews. It works both as a topping or a flavour enhancer in cooked dishes.
