Australian chocolatier, Koko Black, is launching its 2024 mooncake collection, in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which takes place on 17 September this year.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, is a harvest festival celebrated in Chinese culture. The festivities are a time for reunions, moon-gazing, and enjoying traditional treats. It is widely regarded as one of the four most important Chinese celebrations. Koko Black’s new mooncake collection embraces this rich tradition with four distinctive flavours, each designed to enhance the festival celebrations:
- Mango Five Spice: Creamy milk chocolate ganache infused with Chinese 5 spice, combined with a mango jelly yolk, encased in 54 per cent dark chocolate.
- Matcha Red Bean: Savoury red bean ganache with a matcha shortbread biscuit, encased in a matcha white chocolate.
- Crispy Almond Caramel: Velvety vanilla caramel with a crunchy almond praline layer, encased in milk chocolate.
- Cherry Pistachio: Sour cherry jelly with a crunchy pistachio praline encased in caramelised white chocolate.
The Mid-Autumn Festival represents unity, prosperity, and the joy of sharing, values that align with Koko Black’s mission to create exceptional chocolate experiences. By embracing both traditional and contemporary flavours, Koko Black continues to set the standard for innovation and cultural appreciation in the chocolate industry.
The cakes can be purchased at select Koko Black stores nationwide or ordered online at www.kokoblack.com. They are available in an eight-piece lantern gift box for $89.90, four-piece gift box for $44.90 and individually for $9.90.
