FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How Do I heat my pudding?
    Delattie Special Occasions puddings are fully cooked. Preferred method, - remove from calico and pierce the vacuum sealed bag a few times with a fork and reheat the whole pudding on medium setting for 60 seconds per 500gm or individual slices (100gm) for about 30 seconds. Check during reheating to avoid overheating as all microwaves are different. These settings are based on a 1000W microwave. If your pudding is in a plastic oven proof pudding bowl, remove the lid and heat as above or place in a 130 degree oven for 20 minutes. (again - being careful not to overheat it) method 2 - place vacuum sealed pudding into boiling water for approx. 30 minutes per 500gm Place on a serving plate and serve - warning contents will be hot.
  • How do I serve my Pudding
    Cold, warm it's your choice. My mum loves to slice it and fry the slice in butter on the stove top. Accompaniments can be Custard, dollop of double Cream, brandy sauce, vanilla bean icecream, chocolate sauce - it's really your choice. My favourite is custard, as there is plenty of brandy in the pudding.
  • Do you have Gluten free options?
    Yes, we do! we take allergies very seriously. Our Chef is also a first responder and understand anaphylaxis very well.

    No, they are made in our commercial kitchen which is on site on our property in the high country. All our products are lovingly made by April and by hand. ensuring quality and taste is maintained. Every ingredient included is inspected by me. Trust me, l am very picky when it comes to food quality.
  • Why should I buy Delatite Special Occasions products
    For me, making Christmas Puddings is all about tradition, the rich plump fruit, creamy fudge (no kettle fudge here), yummy biscuits (with a warning one is never enough 😀 ) Tasty allergy free products, macarons and more - if its a sweet treat you are after we have it. It's not just us saying it, with gold, silver and bronze medals from Royal Hobart fine food awards, Sydney fine food awards and Australian fine food awards, all saying our products are worthy of those medals.
