Award-winning gifts and Something Different for your Christmas Cheeseboard from Stag Bakeries
If you’re looking for a special gift for a foodie friend this Christmas then why not choose something new that has already won awards? The Great Taste Selection Tin by Stag Bakeries includes a selection of savoury biscuits that have each received a prestigious Great Taste Award. A perfect gift for cheese lovers as each savoury biscuit can be used as part of a cheeseboard too!
The new Great Taste Selection Tin includes delicious Smoked Butter Oatcakes, a traditional rustic Scottish oatcake made with oats and butter that are gently smoked over oak and beech at the last commercial smokehouse in the Outer Hebrides. The tin also includes two flavours of Stag’s signature Water Biscuits, a Salt & Pepper Water Biscuit and Seaweed Water Biscuit. The seaweed water biscuit is made with a unique blend of seaweed that is sustainably sourced in the Isle’s sea lochs. It also won Best Scottish Speciality Product 2013 and the Nigel Barden Heritage Award which recognised use of heritage and provenance.
The award-winning savoury biscuits are packed into a black-coloured reusable tin, making it a perfect Christmas gift. Available from selected independent speciality stores and Lakeland (www.lakeland.co.uk) 250g, RRP £9.99.
But, if want to cheer up your Christmas cheese and are bored with traditional biscuits, then why not try something different this year? Stag Bakeries offers an exciting alternative to serve alongside your cheeseboard, which will also create a talking point amongst dinner party guests. The appropriately named ‘Something Different for Cheese’ is a luxurious fruit cake that is delicious when served and eaten with cheese.
The rich fruit cake is made with raisins, sultanas, currants, dates, cherries and cranberries that are generously soaked for 4 weeks with ruby port and whisky. The cake is also delicately flavoured with pecan nuts, almonds and a selection of warming spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to create a rich, delicious eat.
The ‘Something Different for Cheese’ fruit cake is perfect with a strong cheddar, tangy blue cheese or mellow, ripe soft cheese such as brie. The cake doesn’t just have to be reserved for eating with cheese, it works equally well eaten on its own or when enjoyed with a cuppa and even a glass of whisky or gin!
Something Different for Cheese is presented in a classic balsa wood box and makes an attractive gift when visiting friends over the festive period. Available from independent retail stores and Lakeland (www.lakeland.co.uk) RRP £8.97 300g.
