Drinks Biscuits, Lancashire Cheese & Spring Onion, The Drinks Bakery, 110g

Like a ploughman’s lunch with a kick.

The Drinks Bakery use the best Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire cheese and combine it with English mustard and spring onion to create a full-on fruity profile with a spicy finish. A Ploughman’s with a kick. A versatile premium snack that stands up to some serious drinks.

They use Mrs Kirkham’s Lancashire Cheese, which is one of the best cheeses on the planet. It’s a multi award winner, buttery, crumbly cheese with a BIG fruity tang and long finish. It’s an amazing cheese to bake biscuits with because the flavour doesn’t bake out, it's locked in creating an amazing cheese biscuit. The rich, mineral, fruity profile balances wonderfully well with hoppy, fermented beer.

Using spring onion creates a more pronounced, sharp onion flavour that balances with the fruitiness of the Lancashire cheese in a powerful cheese and onion biscuit partnership. It leaves the palate ready for a hoppy IPA or some acidity from a glass of white wine (Sauvignon Blanc, Picpoul de Pinet) or a glass of red Grenache. These are the perfect savoury shortbread biscuits to elevate your drinking experience, offering a sophisticated alternative to run-of-the-mill bar snacks.

If we’re talking about a Ploughman’s Lunch then it would be impossible to not add some English Mustard to the plate. Just as the fruitiness from the cheese and sharpness from the onion hits your palate, you then get a kick on the finish from the mustard – and that needs a great drink. The Drinks Bakery think it creates a fun yet artisan biscuit, the perfect posh snack to have with alcohol, on a cheese board or simply by itself.

Hand-baked in the Highlands of Scotland, their premium Drinks Biscuits are crafted using outstanding natural ingredients with no additives, colourings, or preservatives.
