🌿 Sweet Earth & Native Bloom — Kanuka and Beetroot Chutney

Experience a culinary twist rooted in Aotearoa’s botanical heritage. Atutahi’s Kanuka and Beetroot Chutney blends the rich, sweet-earth tones of beetroot with delicate floral notes from locally harvested kanuka leaf (from Ngāti Kuia land). Made naturally in Nelson, New Zealand, this chutney adds complexity and depth—perfect for elevating simple meals or turning ordinary platters into memorable ones.

🍃 What Sets It Apart?

Local Botanicals & Sourcing: Uses kanuka leaf that’s locally harvested, giving it a distinct, floral herbal layer that’s not common in most chutneys.
Balancing Flavours: The natural sweetness and earthiness of beetroot paired with that subtle kanuka floral edge creates a flavour profile that’s both familiar and surprising.
Natural Ingredients, No Fuss: Made in Nelson with all-natural ingredients, minimal processing, and no artificial flavours or colours. You can taste the difference.

🛒 Why Pick the 6-Pack / 200 g Jar?

Good quantity for variety & value: A single 200 g jar is generous for individual use, cheese boards, or shared meals. The 6-pack option offers value for people who use it often, host gatherings, or want to gift.
Shelf presence & gifting: Attractive jars with artisan feel make it a great option for food lovers, as a gift, or to showcase on platters.
Meal versatility: Useful across many dishes—cheese boards, roasted vegetables, sandwiches, or as a flavour lift in cooking. Having more on hand means more chances to use it.

FAQs

What does this chutney taste like?

This chutney features the rich, earthy sweetness of beetroot, mellowed nicely with subtle floral and herbal notes from kanuka leaf. It’s balanced with a touch of spice to give it depth without being overwhelming.

What is Kanuka and why is it used here?

Kanuka is a native New Zealand plant known for its gentle floral aroma and traditionally appreciated for calming, cleansing properties. In this chutney, kanuka leaf adds a delicate herbal-floral edge that elevates the beetroot.

What size is the jar, and what packaging options are available?

The regular product comes in a 200 g glass jar. There is also a 6-pack option available from Atutahi.

What are the ideal ways to use this chutney?

On cheese boards or charcuterie platters — its earthy-sweet flavour works beautifully with creamy cheeses. As a spread for sandwiches or toast. Alongside roast or baked vegetables to bring a flavour lift.

Are the ingredients all natural? Where is it made?

Yes — this chutney is made from natural ingredients in Nelson, New Zealand. There are no artificial colours or flavourings listed.

How spicy or strong is the kanuka flavour? Will it overpower?

The canuka flavour is subtle, giving a gentle floral/herbal lift rather than a strong, spicy punch. The beetroot’s sweetness still dominates, so it shouldn’t overwhelm even if you’re less used to herbal-flavoured condiments.

What’s the shelf life and how should I store it?

Store the jar unopened in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate and use within a few weeks for best flavour (just like most chutneys). Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination.

Are there allergens or dietary concerns I should know about?

The product listing doesn’t highlight major allergens. Because the ingredients are mainly beetroot, kanuka leaf, and spices, it appears relatively safe. But if you have sensitivities (especially to spices, or herbal components), check the most recent label or contact Atutahi to be sure.

What is the price, and how does the 6-pack compare value-wise?

A single 200g jar is priced around NZ$10.95 at some retailers. The 6-pack option is priced at NZ$60 on Atutahi’s site. If you use it regularly or share with others, the 6-pack is more cost-efficient.

Is this good as a gift item, or more for personal use?

Definitely a good candidate for gifting. The chutney is a bit more unique thanks to the native kanuka, the packaging is attractive, and it’s something different that would appeal to people who like artisan or small-batch foods. Also works well in gift packs, or paired with cheeses or specialty breads.
