H2: What Is Treacle?
Treacle is a dark syrup by-product of the sugar refining process, closely related to molasses but slightly lighter and more balanced in flavour. Chelsea Treacle offers a well-rounded taste — not too bitter, not too sweet — making it ideal for both sweet and savoury applications.
It is especially prized in traditional British-style baking and beloved in New Zealand for its use in:
- Gingerbread
- Sticky date pudding
- Treacle tart
- Christmas cakes
- BBQ sauces
- Marinades and glazes
- Homemade toffee and confections
Its distinctive flavour and rich texture make it an essential ingredient in countless Kiwi kitchens.
H2: Trusted Quality from Chelsea – A New Zealand Favourite
Over 140 Years of Sugar Expertise
Chelsea is a name synonymous with sugar in New Zealand. Since 1884, Chelsea has been producing top-quality sugar and syrups from its refinery in Birkenhead, Auckland. The Chelsea Treacle 1KG (50804) is a continuation of this tradition — a dark, thick syrup produced to the highest standards of purity and taste.
It’s made with care, consistency, and a commitment to quality that Kiwi consumers and foodservice professionals have trusted for generations.
H2: Ideal for Baking and Cooking
Bold Flavour, Smooth Performance
The thick consistency and intense flavour of Chelsea Treacle make it a favourite for baking recipes that require moisture, density, and a complex caramelised sweetness. Its high sugar content contributes to the moistness and shelf-life of baked goods, while its molasses tones give cakes, cookies, and slices a rich brown colour and bold taste.
In savoury cooking, treacle is often used in:
- Marinades for pork, beef, and ribs
- Barbecue sauces with a smoky-sweet twist
- Glazes for ham or roast vegetables
- Rich gravies and braises where you need sweetness and colour

Its use isn’t limited to December, though — it’s an all-season syrup for hearty baking and slow cooking all year round.
