The Great Aotearoa Sampler Box

The Great Aotearoa Sampler Box

We're really delighted to announce a collaboration with Griffin's as part of our ongoing #EatNZGrains campaign.

This Aotearoa company uses NZ flour in its biscuits and we wanted to help them celebrate this. So we’ve pulled together some of our most exciting biscuit makers and chefs to re-imagine the classics and re-create them for a one off Sampler box.

Best of all, if you’re attending the Hui on Tuesday 3rd May & Wed 4th May you’ll be able to taste test the results!

AND there’s a wild-card entry into the box. For the 13th biscuit, We’re looking for a re-imagining of….the Squiggle! A childhood favourite and voted NZ's favourite biscuit in the Griffin's 2020 Bikkie Poll.

To submit your entry, make sure you are following Griffins and Eat New Zealand on Facebook and Instagram to find out all the details.
