Chocolate Aberffraw Shortbread Biscuits
The Chocolate Aberffraw Shortbread Biscuits are a delicious shortbread made with just good quality butter, flour, sugar and dark chocolate chips – making for a rich shortbread heavy with cocoa flavour.
Aberffraw biscuits are a fabulous Welsh shortbread pressed with the shape of a scallop shell and are said to be Britain’s oldest biscuit.
Legend has it that centuries ago a Welsh king was holding court in Aberffraw on Anglesey, North Wales. His wife was walking on the beach there and, seeing a pretty scallop shell, had a cake baked in its shape.
However, the true origin of the biscuit is the famous Christian pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. It is though that in about the 13th Century Welsh pilgrims began pressing shortbread with scallop shells as a symbol of the journey. We hope you enjoy this taste of history.
Shepherd's Biscuits was founded by husband and wife James and Natasha Shepherd in 2013. The couple heard about the story of Britain’s oldest biscuit… and decided to bring it back! Since then, the company has won numerous awards for quality and innovation and their North Wales bakery holds SALSA accreditation. The company’s ethos is to produce handmade biscuits of the highest quality while being mindful to minimise the impact on the environment and improve the local community.
