Business turns to custard

To many New Zealanders the custard square rates right up there with the pavlova as a classic Kiwi icon.

This gooey bakery treat featuring a thick layer of custard sandwiched between two layers of flaky pastry and topped with vanilla icing has been a traditional favourite for generations.

But South Islanders know that the best custard squares anywhere originate in Pleasant Point, South Canterbury. From a modest production run of about 100 custard squares a day, Denheath House in Pleasant Point is now operating a business that turns out more than a thousand custard masterpieces a day, some being sent as far north as Auckland.
