Island Bakery Traditional Cheese Biscuits

with Isle of Mull Traditional Farmhouse Cheese

Joe’s parents Chris & Jeff bought a derelict farm outside Tobermory in the early 1980s. Working tirelessly together with their four sons, they transformed the ruin into a busy dairy, now famous for its Gold World Cheese Award Winning Isle of Mull Cheese. The mature cheddar cheese is made from the raw milk of a single herd of lovely Friesian, Holstein and Brown Swiss cattle who are fed on lush grass and barley from the Tobermory Distillery, and has a distinctively zingy flavour.

We have long hankered to make a savoury creation. With such fantastic artisan cheese being made right on our doorstep, it would have been crazy to have looked for inspiration any further from home. Food miles are as low as they could possibly be, and the island’s provenance is unique. Other than the cheese, all the main ingredients are organic. Like all our biscuits, we make these in our environmentally sustainable factory powered by local renewable energy.

These all butter biscuits have a melt-in-the-mouth texture, with a superb cheesy hit. This is a richly indulgent concoction, calling for a degree of self restraint if the waistline is not to experience collateral damage. You may need to cut through the richness with a refreshing drink. Perhaps your favourite Single Malt Scotch Whisky? We encourage you to conduct your own research into what makes your preferred pairing!
