The brand new plant-based ham-style roast with vegan maple glaze is here – while stocks last. Here’s what you need to know about this highly anticipated new arrival from our friends at Coles Nature’s Kitchen.
The last couple of weeks have seen what is arguably the launch of this year’s Christmas season: the Coles Nature’s Kitchen Christmas Ham Style Roast with Maple Glaze. Made from seitan (the traditional ‘wheat meat’ protein alternative), it has hit select Coles stores around the country, taking its place alongside the classic vegan roast from Coles Nature’s Kitchen that we know and love.
With a packaging style similar to the original plant-based roast, it is ranged along with the other refrigerated products in the Christmas bay, but just ask for the ‘dairy manager’ in store if you need a hand locating it.
This latest addition to the Coles Nature’s Kitchen lineup is set to make Christmas even more special this year for any household with a vegan contingent. Here’s the lowdown from our enthusiastic taste testing team.
In summary: you don’t want to miss out on this one!
Sarah, Brand & Marketing Manager
“I really enjoyed the hickory, smoky flavour and presentation of this brand new plant-based ‘ham’ roast from Coles Nature’s Kitchen. And with its sweet maple glaze to top, this ham-style roast is perfect for the festive season – so much so that we’ll be including it on our dinner table this Christmas. We fully expect it to be a hit, even with the non-vegans!”
Kirsty, Senior Account Manager
“Super easy to prepare in comparison to other roast recipes (plant-based or otherwise), this went down a treat with the family. As a mother of three kids, I was pleasantly surprised when my 10-year-old son requested an additional serving! It’s a win from me, and I look forward to including this handy, delicious option as part of this year’s Christmas Day spread.”
Cathy, Digital Content Manager
“I’ll admit, it took us a few shopping expeditions to track this one down, as they’ve been flying off the shelves around here, but it was worth the mission! It’s easy to prepare, and filled the kitchen with a delicious savoury aroma as it cooked. We threw a bunch of herby spuds, garlicky parsnips and beetroot into the oven at the same time, and prepared a generous pot of vegan gravy so we could turn our taste-test into a full Christmas dress-rehearsal. Yum! From the crispy ‘crackling’ on the outside (brushed with the maple glaze included in the pack) to the succulent meaty interior, this makes a hearty, substantial centrepiece for the festive table. Grab yours while stocks last!”
