A tangible link to our ANZAC heritage

The ANZAC Biscuit, as it is known today, was baked by mothers and sweethearts for soldiers serving in the Gallipoli Campaign of 1915 (as well as for sale at home to raise funds for the war effort).

Since then the ANZAC Biscuit has been a household favourite, in fact, it has become an icon in both New Zealand and Australia.

Authentic Recipe

At a special function aboard the ANZAC-class frigate HMNZS Te Kaha in March 2002, RNZRSA in partnership with manufacturer Unibic launched the ANZAC Biscuit based on an authentic recipe.

New Tin! To mark the 90th Anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign RNZRSA and Unibic are proud to release a new Limited Edition ANZAC Biscuit Tin.

The tin features the famous watercolour painting 'The man with the Donkey' by Gallipoli veteran and war artist Horace Moore-Jones. Moore-Jones's watercolour landscapes of Gallipoli toured New Zealand in 1916-17 to raise funds for the fledging RSA and so it is appropriate that today his most famous painting is again helping RNZRSA to help veterans.

The 500g Limited Edition Tin is available exclusively from Foodtown and Woolworths, while the packets are available from supermarkets nationwide.

By purchasing these biscuits New Zealanders will be directly assisting the RNZRSA to help veterans.
