From Nougat and Walnut Cakes to Fruit Pastries, Cherry Grandfather Continues Expanding Taiwan’s Dessert Tradition
In Taiwan’s gift snack market, nougat, pineapple cakes, and traditional pastries have long remained popular choices for holiday gifting, travel souvenirs, and everyday treats. Products that combine Taiwanese flavors with fruit-inspired ingredients have also gained increasing attention in overseas markets. Among these well-known brands, Cherry Grandfather has become one of Taiwan’s recognizable dessert and gift brands, known for its walnut cakes, nougat, and fruit pastry collections.
Originally starting as a small bakery in Taipei, the company first focused on bread and cake products before expanding into nougat and traditional confectionery. By using almonds instead of traditional peanuts in its early nougat products, the brand created a lighter and more refined taste that quickly gained popularity among consumers.
Over the years, Cherry Grandfather has continued to expand its product lineup beyond classic walnut cakes and nougat. The brand now offers a variety of fruit-inspired desserts featuring flavors such as honey tangerine, kumquat, mulberry, pineapple, and red dates, bringing a refreshing twist to traditional Taiwanese pastries. Its product range also includes sesame walnut cakes, Pouchong tea walnut candy, ginger walnut candy, chocolate walnut candy, and premium seasonal gift boxes.
In addition to fruit flavors, Cherry Grandfather also combines Taiwanese tea culture and local agricultural ingredients into its dessert creations. Through creative flavor development and elegant packaging design, the brand continues to present Taiwanese-style sweets in a more modern and internationally appealing way.
Today, Cherry Grandfather offers a diverse selection of nougat, walnut cakes, fruit desserts, traditional pastries, and gift boxes while continuing to expand across Asian and international markets. By blending local ingredients with innovative flavor combinations, the brand continues to share the warmth and sweetness of Taiwan’s gift culture with consumers around the world.
