Our Easter Picks from Farro

As with any holiday that centres around family feasts and indulgent treats, a visit to Farro is all you need to make the Easter weekend totally delicious. On top of the best quality cuts for your requisite roast (and all the essential accompaniments!), you’ll find a truly egg-ceptional range of Easter gifts.
First up, Farro’s exclusive collaboration with Bennetts of Mangawhai. Crafted with Bennetts delicious chocolate (made using sustainably sourced cocoa), the colourful range includes chocolate bunnies big and small, artful eggs, mini characters, and their famous giant egg, weighing in at a whopping 1.2kg.
For coffee lovers, the elegant Allpress x Bennetts packs have had a delicious upgrade this year, with the addition of two amber caramel latte eggs. Meanwhile, kids will love the Schoc Coco Bunny, Remarkable’s Easter smash bark, and Otti & Olli’s characterful range of iced gingerbread.
From the trend-setters, Auckland chocolatiers House of Chocolate are back with another stand-out collection this year. Their clever confections – like ruby chocolate and pistachio eggs, or toffee caramel bon bons – come coated in pretty pastels and wrapped in gorgeous, gift-worthy boxes. Or jump on the viral Dubai chocolate trend with their pistachio knafeh bar – big, bold, and bursting with decadent flavour.
If you really can’t make up your mind, Farro’s Easter Box is the answer – white chocolate gingerbread, raspberry marshmallows, choc nut butter, and a peppermint marshmallow egg, all wrapped up in a gift-worthy box.
And it wouldn’t be Easter without a surplus of fluffy, fruity, warmly spiced hot cross buns. At the heart of this year’s range is a must-try trio from Daily Bread: the award-winning Traditional, the new Chocolate & Sour Cherry, or the exclusive Farro collab – cosy Spiced Apple.
You’ll also find new bakes from Pandoro, plus Farro’s classic Traditional and Chocolate, and – new to the scene last year – Lucy’s Gluten Free, a game-changer for coeliacs.
For the not-so-sweet tooths, think outside the chocolate box…Farro shelves are loaded with great foodie gifts, from beautiful olive oils to award-winning wines, artisan hampers, and crafty condiments.
Farro have eight stores Auckland-wide, including their Commerical Bay pop-up Little Farro. Or, for an even easier Easter, shop online at farro.co.nz.
