Included in this selection is 1 x Sheridans Irish Brown Bread Crackers, 1 x Orkney Thin Oatcakes and 1 x Tracklements Sticky Fig Relish.
Brown Bread Crackers
These crackers are made with four traditional Irish ingredients, including buttermilk, to impart the distinctive Irish Brown Bread taste. At Sheridans the ingredients are strikingly simple and sourced in close proximity to the bakery itself. They use flour stone-ground at Macroom Oatmeal Mills, butter from Bandon Co-op and buttermilk produced by the Cronin family from Belgooly; all in County Cork.
Ingredients:
Wholemeal wheat flour (50%), buttermilk, butter, sea salt (may also contain traces of nuts).
Orkney Oatcakes, Thin
Based in the harbour town of Stromness, Stockan’s Oatcakes have been baking in Orkney for over 100 years. Orkney Thin Oatcakes are made with fine milled oats, for a more refined texture.
Ingredients:
Wholegrain oats, vegetable oil (palm/rapseed), fortified wheat flour (wheat, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin), salt, raising agents (potassium bicarbonate, disodium diphosphate).
Weight: 100g
Tracklements Fig Relish
Tracklements Fig Relish is made by soaking figs in spiced vinegar before chopping and gently cooking them with rich dark sugar. The relish is tangy and not-too-sweet and works well with goat and sheep cheese and soft cheese.
Ingredients:
Figs (42%), Spiced Vinegar (Cider Vinegar, Cloves, Allspice, Black Peppercorns), Water, Muscovado Sugar, raw Cane Sugar, Chillies, Cinnamon. Gluten free. 250g
