Product Information

Now, I don't want to analyse this too much as I'm not a Brit myself and I would not like for this article to become political, but I am sure that, no matter what one's political affiliation might be, the news that Bath Oliver biscuits would no longer be produced was disheartening. I believe that every country has its national biscuit brand or type that they are proud of and would hate to see go away. We implore you, dear reader, stay strong! We call upon you once more to take up metaphorical arms and the mighty pen, for we have power! Scrambling around his local supermarkets and then trawling the internet, Peter Sitch was at a loss for what had happened to his beloved Bath Oliver biscuits. Not on the shelves, not on Ocado, not nowhere. Mr Tebbs in episode "Shedding the Load" mentions Bath Oliver biscuits in Are You Being Served when discussing his favourite biscuit.

There has long been speculation that the jewels were taken from the Tower of London to Windsor in the war. Other theories have included them being kept in a vault in Canada, a secret tunnel at a prison in Devon and a cave in Wales.The story of how they were buried at Windsor in a Bath Oliver biscuit tin, with the grass left to regrow to conceal their hiding place, has come to light from confidential correspondence in the Royal Collection. This unconscionable decision was executed by Jacob’s and their parent company United Biscuits. On October 7th The Daily Telegraph broke this sad news in a letter by Mr. Peter Sitch. This was soon reiterated by the BBC Today radio program at 7:44 AM GMT. And only the confused eat cheese naked – that is to say without bread or biscuits. And today, with so many varieties out there, the Bath Oliver provides clarity in the fog of “biscuits for cheese”. He prescribed his patients to drink up to 60 cups of thermal water per day, but to offset the taste, encouraged them to also eat the buns. They often preferred the buns to the water, so he ended up dealing with different issues altogether!

The Bath Oliver is large, proud, straightforward and handsome. I see them on the shelves, shy among the vulgar newbies, like treasure beneath the sand. Never too dry, not too coarse, and with a hint of creaminess. And they are not a wretched oatcake, which is just gruel pretending to be a biscuit. Another bun with a mystery! There are various stories as to the identity of Sally Lunn, inventor of these large brioche-style treats, served either sweet or savoury. Mr McCrea was determined to regain Huntley & Palmers right to make the superior biccies which had not been produced for at least five years. Bake the dough for about twenty-five minutes, until the dough is brown and crisp. Make sure to rotate the oven trays halfway through. Great works of art, empires, successful businesses. What do all these things have in common? As the old saying goes: "Rome wasn't built in a day" and neither were any of the aforementioned things. Success takes time. Sometimes it takes several generations of great management for family businesses to finally make a breakthrough in the ever-saturated market. Bath Oliver biscuits have a similar story. They are the English national biscuits and as such are loved by many.

Cut the rolled dough into circular shapes that are about 8 cm in diameter. Place them on wetter oven trays. But, of course, readers of The Telegraph noticed – and I’ve noticed. And we should not allow this biscuit to die without a fight. Before we continue, I would like to dedicate a few words to the inventor of Bath Oliver biscuits. William Oliver was born in the year 1695, on 14th of August to be more precise, in a parish and village in Cornwall, England, UK. He was a physician and lived for 69 years before he passed away in the year 1764, on the 17th of March. He was the son of John Oliver, the owner of the Trevarno Estate, a private country estate in south-west Cornwall, near the village of Crowntown. Although his family first resided at Trevarno in Sithney (which is a civil parish in west Cornwall), they later moved to Ludgvan, where they settled in the Treneere estate in Madron.Try them at…The Thoughtful Bread Company.
