Kelly Mita-Skeet, Dante’s specialty grocery store (2018)

“Kelly Mita-Skeet dips a tasting stick into a pottle of sweet-tart kawakawa jelly; she tries a little bit, suggests it would be good with lamb. She has a kamokamo pickle and horopito and lemon sauce to taste as well.”

“Dante’s, on Duke St, is like a giant pantry of comestibles from home and abroad, including Dutch gouda cheeses, a full suite of Dutch biscuits, Italian dried pasta, splendid chocolates from Belgium, Kiwi-made horseradish sauce, various gluten-free and organic products, and Kendal Mint Cake for English customers remembering the taste of their childhood. And that’s just a handful of its wares.”  Denise Irvine, “Dante’s passes the taste test,” StuffNZ, April 12, 2018.
