The Famous Dorset Knob Tin are BACK

Looks like the end of August for more stock – we have some of the packets still so please text us on 07711247762 if you want us to send out packets to you. It’s been on our mind for more than a decade and in the past we have sold hampers of Dorset products. We are selling a few of our classic food items but only if they come in a reusable tin and something we think those nautically minded might enjoy as an accompaniment on their or someone else’s boat.  Moores Dorset Knob Biscuits are usually accompanied with a wry smile, laughter or a blush when purchasing in our shop. They do sell very well.  They do what is says on the tin — “Superior double baked savoury biscuits, made to the original Moores family recipe in the heart of Dorset and enjoyed throughout the world”. Moores have been established since 1880, that’s more than a hundred years longer than us but on to the biscuits – originally made from dough left over from a mornings bread production – most buyers now enjoy these with some mature cheese and back in the day they were eaten with sugar and hot tea poured on to them.  In fact, Thomas Hardy the famous local novelist  was a big fan in the late 1800s and would finish a meal with Dorset Knobs and Stilton cheese, although we think it was actually Dorset Blue Vinny cheese!.  400 grammes in weight and the average weight of each knob is 10 grammes. That’s the biscuits done but what a superb tin!!! Something to keep in the kitchen for many years to come. Approx 20 cms high and 15 cms wide/deep.  WE DO NOW HAVE A SLIGHTLY CHANGED TIN – photo to follow.
