Hazelnut & Cranberry Sweet Oaten Biscuits-150g

If you’re going to treat yourself, you should treat yourself properly. So, if you think you’ve earned a biscuit, a cheap, mass-produced one really isn’t a proper reward.

The basic ingredients for all our biscuits are the same: organic flour, organic sugar and organic British butter from farms where the cattle spend plenty of time outside happily grazing grass.

For our Hazelnut & Cranberry Sweet Oaten Biscuits, we add cranberry pieces and chunks of lightly toasted hazelnuts.

It all ends up in the village of Aberlour, by the River Spey, where the famous shortbread maker, Walkers, bakes over 15 kinds of biscuits for us. Like so many of our suppliers and partners, the company is a family firm – still run by a Walker over a hundred years after its founding.

All that time has taught them a thing or two about great biscuits. Not least that if you use the very best ingredients, it makes the end product even more satisfying.

Go on, treat yourself properly.

Nearly 20 years ago there wasn’t a lot of discussion about organic farming. Even the idea that we ought to think about where our food came from seemed a bit eccentric and old-fashioned.

Since then there’s been a sea change in attitudes. From organic and fair trade to school meals and sustainable farming, everyone has an opinion about food. Every part of the process, meanwhile, from growing, producing, transporting, promoting and selling food is under scrutiny like never before.

Duchy Originals was launched in 1990 by HRH The Prince of Wales. Our story goes back a little further, however – back to the early 1980s when the Prince moved to the Highgrove country estate in Gloucestershire.

At that time, the general consensus about farming was that we needed to concentrate on making food cheaper, farming more efficient and food shopping more convenient. The Prince believed instead that we need to think about the long-term future of our environment and our rural communities.

As we’ve grown, we’ve stayed true to our principles, raising the profile of organic food and working with more and more producers to feed Britain’s appetite for good food.

We believe that where you buy your food and what you feed your family is one of the most important decisions you can make. It affects the whole way people see society, the environment, the economy and our relationship to them.

It’s a big responsibility, but with your help, we think we can continue to make delicious good food that makes a really positive contribution to society.
