When first launched in Korea, the OREO Red Velvet flavor was so popular that many Taiwanese consumers would fly abroad to buy them or ask someone else to bring them back. This bestselling new flavor is also an internet sensation, ranked in the Top 10 best OREO flavors of all time by Ranker.com
[1]. Now that the OREO Red Velvet flavor is officially available in Taiwan, people can buy this “sensational” cookie right at home without flying overseas. The cookies taste sweet and rich with a cocoa-flavored outside and perfectly blended cream cheese filling. The smooth, delightful, and velvet-like taste is sweet with a hint of saltiness. Red Velvet OREOs give you the double indulgence of cake and cookies!
With its rich flavor and celebratory red look, OREO Red Velvet is perfect for the Lunar New Year holidays when family members young and old can come together to enjoy surprising tastes. Children will be delighted to dive in with milk and OREO’s famous “twist, lick, and dunk” maneuver, while adults can pair them with a cup of coffee, allowing the bitter-sweet aroma to merge with the red velvet cake cookies, as if having an elegant, premium afternoon tea at home. Grandmas and grandpas, please do try the cookies with a pot of Chinese green tea. As the subtle fragrance of the tea meets sweet cookies, you can feel the blend of Eastern and Western cultures stirring up refreshing new flavors.
