Mooncakes are a Chinese pastry typically eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival or Mooncake Festival, one of China's most important holidays. Amidst the celebrations, mooncakes are shared between family and friends. Often intricately decorated, mooncakes consist of a thin crust and a dense filling, usually of lotus seed paste or red bean paste. They may contain other special ingredients, such as yolks from salted duck eggs or nuts.
Hong Kong's Maxim or Mei Xin has been producing delicious mooncakes since 1987, and their White Lotus Seed Paste Mooncake has spent decades as the #1 bestselling mooncake in Hong Kong. Honk Kong MX Mooncakes have repeatedly won Monde Selection International Quality Awards.
Bits of almond, pecans, pine nuts, lotus seeds, and sesame seeds fill these delightful Mixed Nut Mooncakes. Wrapped in a thin, flaky golden crust, the nutty mixture is held together with flavorful candied tangerine and winter melon jam, for a Mid-Autumn Festival treat that you won't soon forget. It comes in a beautiful gift box that's perfect for sharing.
