Rakau Pepa—Mild and slightly peppery cheese, celebrating Maori culture the one way we can. The Name Rakau Pepa loosely translates into (Pepper tree) which is a common name for both Horopito. and Kawakawa. Rakau Pepa is also and easy word for people to pronounce for all ‘kiwis’ moving through their journey. integrating Te Reo Maori into their everyday. Although a small gesture we hope to support Matariki through increased confidence and knowledge. around a small part of Maori culture and our appreciation of that. Nutritional Information. Cow Milk
