Traditional Scottish Oatcakes are deeply rooted in Scotland’s culture dating back to the Roman times.
They are historically known to have once been a primary source of food for the Scottish soldiers in the 14th century.
Oats were readily available and easily grown in Scotland, made from ground oats and water, often cooked on girdles becoming a portable sustainable food source.
The texture can vary from coarse to fine depending on how the oats are grounded and the taste and depth can also vary from chewy to hard depending on the cooking process.
Throughout the years, these delicious oatcakes have evolved into a versatile accompaniment to various delicacies such as cheese, meat and soups.
They can be enjoyed at any time of the day, breakfast, snacks or accompaniment to cheeseboards or canapes.
Our cocktail oatcakes are a modern example of the traditional oatcake, and they are a favourite to many.
They can be enjoyed with almost anything, beetroot spread, avocado and tomato, stilton cheese or strawberries and honey, whatever you fancy!
